I just replaced a computer on my home network with a brand new one, and can't

computer up identical to the one it replaced: profiles, passwords, etc., but
I can only access files residing on the laptop (from the desktop), and not
vice/versa. Ran Network setup wizard on both machines (connect to internet
through a wireless router, desktop connected directly to router, laptop
connects wirelessly), and both systems show up in netwok neighborhood on each
computer. I can access the laptop shares through the desktop & get the error
5 when trying to access desktop shares from the Laptop. Both computers have
all applicable services running, NetBIOS over TCP/IP enabled, and
Restrictanonymous registry settings for both are set to 0. I can ping each
machine, the router, and local hosts from each machine. I am also running
Norton Internet Security 2006 on both machines with the firewall enabled for
my home network. Have tried disabling NIS on both machines with no effect.
I have read every post on this newsgroup and tried everything to no avail.
Below are the results of Ipconfig, net view, browstat & ping for each
machine. I'm about at the end of my rope...It is probably something simple,
but I can't find it. Please help!

Sorry about the length of this message, but wanted to get all pertinent data
out there at once.

Chuck;

Thanks for the nudge. Yes the nVidia NIC did have a hidden firewall: I
re-load the OS & installed the drivers but not the utility! Anyway, got the
utilities installed & tried creating a firewall profile for MS file sharing
(with the wizard) but still nothing. I then went ahead & turned off the
nVidia fireall completely (via the software utility), rebooted & still have
the same exact symptoms. Something interesting though; when I view workgroup
computers in network neighborhood from the desktop, & click on the desktop
computer and try to open the shared folders drive, I get the same error! I
can still see both computers and their shares from network neighborhood, can
access the Laptop's files from the Desktop, but still nothing the other
direction. Any other ideas?

What Operating System (name, version, edition, SP level) does each computer run?
If XP Pro, is Simple File Sharing enabled, or if Advanced File Sharing, are you
using Guest authentication? What specific shares are you trying to open?

If you are trying to disable NIS, note that is not known for success.
