XP Pro
Desktop connected to wireless router via cable. Laptop connected via
wireless card. Desktop sees all of shared laptop as well as internet.
Laptop sees Desktop in workgroup, but no folders listed, but can access
internet. Not able to add anything to My Network places. Am able to ping
desktop. All firewalls and antivirus (eTrust) turned off. Logged in in safe
mode with networking. Still no luck.
Any ideas??? Thanks.

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. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;304040
