Vista pc cannot access vista laptop on wireless LAN and vice versa

I have a Vista pc and a laptop on a wireless LAN with a D-link router.
Both connect OK to the network (and to a wireless printer) and both are
visible in the Network window of each other. I can view and open
files/folders on the Public and Users folders of each BUT I cannot
access either from the (myname) folder in each. I'm using the Windows
firewall set to Private Network. Network and Sharing Centre is set with
Network Discovery ON; File Sharing ON; Public Folder Sharing ON; Printer
Sharing ON; Password Protected Sharing OFF; and Media Sharing ON.
I have set up File Sharing wherever I can (although I may have missed
somewhere).
When I try to open a laptop (myname) folder on the Network window on
the pc I get a "Network Error" window which reads "Windows cannot access
'\\laptop\(myname' (file://\\laptop\(myname)) Check the spelling of the
name. Otherwise there might be a problem with your network. To try to
identify and resolve the network problems, click diagnose"
When I click diagnose, it opens a Windows Network Diagnostics window
which reads "(myname) is available but the user account that you are
logged on with was denied access. Windows cannot further diagnose the
problem because network diagnostics does not know the user name and
password that is required to connect to the shared folder".
Could someone please advise what I should do to allow access between pc
and laptop in both directions.
Thanks in advance!
Mel.
