one way connection

I have a desktop running XP wired to my router. I have a laptop (XP)
wirelessly connecting to the router. The desktop can see the laptop's
shared folders and read and write to them, but the laptop can't see
the desktop.

If anyone can help or recommend a step by step site, I'd appreciate
it. Simply running the MS wizards is definitely not getting the job
done.

Assuming that the desktop is named "desktop" then on the "laptop"
click start, run, type "\\desktop" . What msg do you get?

Check to see that the guest account is enabled and that "everyone" has
access to the shared folder.
