I used to be able to file and print share fine until about two weeks ago.
Now when I try to map a folder from my desktop (X) to my laptop (wanderer) I
get:

Network path was not found

I think this started happening after I disabled my Guest account. I read
that it was needed for file sharing, so I reenabled it on both machines, but
I still have the problem. I am able to map folders from the laptop to the
desktop. I downloaded PChuck's cdiag and ran it on both computers. I have
the WINS server IP pointing to the desktop's IP. The output is below.

My network consists of the desktop hardwired to a router which connects to
the Internet and the laptop wireless to the router.

Console error output from the laptop:

System error 6118 has occurred.

The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available

System error 53 has occurred.

The network path was not found.

cdiag output:
