Networking My Gateway MK6453 Laptop

I took my laptop out into the garage and connected it to the network hub out there. After some futzing with the PC in the house, it finally recognized the laptop, but would not allow me to sign on. It gave me a message to the effect that I did not have permission. From the laptop (with I believe is called XP Media), I could not find a My Network Places icon. Looking at Network Connections (on the Control Panel) and using Local Networks, there is nothing listed. Only properties are available. I have no idea whether the laptop is connected or not, or can see the PC in the house (it uses XP Pro). The house PC can see another PC in the garage. How can I get the laptop to show me what it think the LAN looks like? That is, tell me what PCs are on it?
