Wireless File Sharing Between Laptop & Desktop

I have a two desktops both with XP SP3, and both set up for file
sharing between them over a wireless router, but using CAT5. Has
worked fine. Now I have a laptop and want it to file share with the
two desktops, but wirelessly. When I try to activate file sharing on
the laptop, I find it only presents the CAT5 Ethernet hub as a
connector, not the wireless connection. I am not using that hub. I
presume that if I were to connect a CAT5 cable to it 'tween the laptop
and the router, that I could create file sharing on the laptop to link
with the two desktops. I was surprised that I could not do that over
the wireless path.

Or can I? Am I missing something?

Thanks

Yes

The problem was the Firewall on the laptop which was ON. Turned it
off and all was okay, and the files are duly shared.
