If I understand correctly, the laptop has XP PRO and is inaccessible from
the desktop which has XP HOME.
Windows XP Pro: two policies can be found in Control Panel, Performance and
Maintenance, Administrative Tools, Local Security Policy (or click Start,
Run, and enter: gpedit.msc), expand Computer configuration, Windows
settings, Security settings, Local policies, Assign user rights, then search
for the two policies named:
a.. Access this computer from the network
b.. Deny access to this computer from the network
Double-click on the second one. It usually contains a SUPPORT user. Some
third party software adds Guest or some other user or group here.
If Guest is included, guest access (all users who do not have an account
with the same username and password on the target computer) from other
computers is not possible and yields the above-mentioned error message.
Remove Guest and all other groups or users who should be able to access this
computer over the network. The SUPPORT user entry may remain in place.
In the policy, "Access this computer from the network" make sure that the
group Everyone is included. If not, add it as a new, last line under the
other entries.

Let me know if this helps.
