I think you are saying that you can access shared folders on both PC and laptop, so nothing wrong with networking.

If you are running XP on one or both, you need to be set up on both machines as a user with the same login name and password, windows will then be able to authenticate you on the remote PC and you will be given the same access that you would have if you logged on locally.
