Well thanks to you Malke I have got it working from Latop to my desk top
PC. It can't see it the other way round but I am not too bothered as the
desktop is the main source of material to be shared to my friend's laptop
and my own. I got the printer working as well after changing the default
to the desktop (I used to swap the cable over before but can now do it
wirelessly. The main problem as you so rightly hit on straight away was
the Firewall. Once I had sorted out the names of the PCs and the groups
etc. it all fell into place. I knew I was in the right direction with that
when I switched off the firewalls on both machines and it worked; then it
was only, I say only but for me it was a struggle, had to make the
partners trusting. Thanks again

I'm glad you got it working, even if it is still not two-way. I've told you
everything I can to make the sharing two-way, so you may wish to read
through it again if you decide to revisit the issue.

Thanks for taking the time to post back.
