Problem setting up workgroup between laptop and main computer

Apolgies if I'm not so good with the terminology - I've had a look
around the web and suspect the problem may be a bit complicated.
I've got a Buffalo wireless router plugged into my phone line.
I have a Linksys Wireless Bridge ethernet into which I've plugged an
Xbox 360 and my main computer.
I'm trying to share files between my main computer and my laptop.
They're both apparently on the same workgroup MSHOME but cannot see
each other's shared files.
I've used run/cmd/ipconfig to trying pinging etc
My main computer's IP 192.168.1.170 and its default gateway
192.168.1.129. It can ping these both just fine.
My laptops IP is 192.168.1.2 and its default gateway 192.168.1.1
My main computer can ping all four of these addresses just fine. My
laptop can only successfully ping 192.168.1.1.
I'm at a loss - should the default gateways be different? Anything
else I can try? Thanks
