I have a desktop connected to a Belkin router connected to a cable modem.  I
also have an HP wireless laptop.  The desktop is my host computer.  I can
access internet from both desktop/laptop.  This morning I created a home
network on my desktop and then on my notebook.  Didn't play with it at all,
just saw that it was set up on my desktop/laptop & turned off both systems. 
Turned on laptop and there was no network/workgroup set up on it.  My desktop
has both computers listed as in my workgroup, however when I click on the
laptop name it stated " __is not accessible. you might not have
permission....the network path was not found"  I tried to set up the home
network again on my  notebook.  Still nothing.  Do I have to delete my
network/workgroup (desktop/laptop) on my desktop and start all over or what. 
I can still access internet from my laptop.  I tried system restore on my
notebook and it shows that my workgroup name/etc. will default to that date
(which I kinda wanted) but I wasn't able to restore. (don't know why since
the notebook is only a couple weeks old but thats another issue I'm not
concernedd about at the moment).  I just want to share files from each
computer.  Any suggestions

Hi
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what is allowed
to be shared.
