Error MSG in File Sharing

[yankeebean]

unfortunally i dont know much about networking...

although I do need to share the file between the 2 computers..

ok now,
hardware, 2x win XP PRo 1/Laptop 1/Desktop
ASDLRouter/Modem/switch = Netcomm NB13000 Plus 4 (DHCP ready)

website info

An enhanced version of NetComm’s ever popular NB1300 ADSL Modem/Router, the NB1300PLUS4 combines an ADSL modem with USB and 10/100 Ethernet interfaces, Router and a 4-port 10/100 Switch. The Router features NAT/PAT (network/port address translation) and dynamic IP address allocation. With dynamic addressing, a device can have a different IP address every time it connects to the network. Combined with the integrated NAT routing function, this provides a type of firewall by hiding internal IP addresses from the outside world. In addition, the 4 port 10/100 Switch can share a single ADSL connection with all users from the day you install it

Both computer have the same WORKGROUP name. i can see both computer on both machines, while looking "MYNETWORK PLACES"

Can Ping both computers from each other with no errors

Trouble is....

i can only access the laptop form the Desktop. when i try to access the desktop fron the laptop i receive this error msg..
