Only one-way flow between Laptop and PC

[Dunc]

I have just installed the BT Voyager 2100 package of base
station, PCI card and laptop adaptor and both laptop and
PC connect with internet ok. Have enabled file sharing
between both and enabled sharing of the printer attached
to my PC. I can access the laptop from the PC but not
the otherway round When selecting network places on the
PC, it shows me all its own shared areas plus the shared
areas of the laptop. When I do the same on the laptop,
all I see is the shared laptop folders. When viewing
workgroup computers on the laptop, both PC and Laptop
appear but on trying to access the PC from the laptop,
the following message pops up:

PC is not accessible. You might not have permission to
use the network resource. Contact the administrator of
this server to find out if you have access
permissions. Logon failure: the user has not been
granted the requested logon type at this computer".

I am running Zone Alarm Security Suite on both machines
and followed tips about ports and enabling guest account
earlier on thread but no joy. Also tried with both
firewalls down.I am the only user on both machines and
have administrator rights. I am running XP Pro on the PC
and XP Home on the laptop. Please advise before totally
bald.

password from that link. Would greatly appreciate it if
you could amplify please.
