Check that your firewall has the exception for file and printer sharing ticked in the firewall. Do NOT turn the firewall off. Go into the tcp/ip properties of you connection on the laptop, from advanced use the wins tab to set always use netbios over tcp/ip. When you apply this it will complain of and empty wins address, over-ride this. Within 20 minutes you should see the desktop appear in your network.

Make sure File & Print sharing is properly enabled on both computers and that Windows firewall or any "Internet Security" software is disabled. Also, make sure you have folders with shared permissions set.

Normally caused by Firewall settings, as well as user account privilege.
