Question Windows Xp networking Problem

hey

I have a new windows xp home laptop and i got a linksys wireless router. I have a network setup with a desktop computer running Xp pro and i have also installeed internet connection sharing. My network will share the ics and i can access files from my laptop but i can't access my laptop from the desktop computer. When i go into the workgroup and click on my laptops name it says \\laptop is not accessible

No permission to access resource.

Just to see i also pluged a Me machine in and the same thing happens. So I can see all computers just the Xp Pro desktop (and Me) does not have access to my Xp home laptop.

Pinging the laptop does work so the network is working.

Thanks For any help

Brian
