Unable to open shared files on wireless network

I am having a sharing problem I think. I have a desktop pc running
Windows XP PRO and a laptop also running Windows XP PRO. They are both
networked through my wireless router D-Link DI524. Internet and
network drive mapping works great. I can access all media files on my
laptop from my wired computer. But, I cannot access anything shared on
the desktop from the laptop.
I can't seem to figure this out since the desktop can access everything
on my laptop but not vice versa, so I know it's not a router firewall
setting. I have both computers in my trusted zone in Zonealarm and I
still can't open MP3 or video files. MP3 play for at most 4 seconds
before being cut off. Videos don't start from the beginning. If I
access all from Windows Media Player 9, i get the error that it cannot
open the file and to check network connections etc.
Both computers are assigned to the workgroup: HOME.
Both computers have the same user ID and password.
Both computers can see each other on the network.
Both computers can be successfully pinged by the other computer.
Any ideas why I can't open any files with my laptop stored on my
desktop but shared on the network?
