Sharing folders on a small home network

[Ian Smith]

I am using XP and have used the wizard to set up a connection between a desktop and a laptop. I have ticked the file share and printer share but I get a message saying the laptop is not accessible and I might not have permission to use this network resource and to contact the administrator of this server to find out if I have access permission. The files appear on screen but I cannot gain access to them. Please can anyone help with this problem.
