setting up a home network
desktop wired to a WRT54G
Laptop wireless
Problem
laptop doesn't see desktop as a Computer on the network, but will ping desktop
desktop can see the laptop through Workgroup computers but can not ping the laptop, also get a an error message when trying to access the laptop saying, You may not have privleges to access this network device
both have a Hard drive that is shared and not password protected
Windows firewall is running on both

I had an e-mail from D-Link saying that one of the POSSIBLE causes with mine was that both computers did infact have firewalls turned on and was conflicting with one another.
Another they stated was, I had to manually assign an IP address at the base computer where the router was hooked up.
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.

I've got Windows Firewall running on all four of mine with no issues of connectivity among them.
I don't think that would be the issue...OTher than that, i'd have to be there to see how you have it all set up to see what is going on...

This isn't a network problem.
Make sure you have two users with the same usernames on both computers with the same password.

Although this probably won't fix your problems, I suggest aftermarket firmware for the WRT54G. I used that router at a place I volenteered and we hated the factory firmware.
But to make sure: All your computers are in the same workgroup? I would make sure the names are similar too (for me personally, I name my computers by laptop/desktop with a number) then just type //computername in an IE window to access files.

Dang it forgot to mention this. I was gonna also mention that Norton sometimes will not let computers or laptops pick up wireless signals. I also had to disable my Norton Security for a little bit to configure mine.
