File sharing between XP Home and OS X 10.5



Ok, I am having an issue where I can't connect either way between my
iMac and my Toshiba Satellite M50. Before I had my mac and laptop
wired to the wireless router but due to shifting around they are both
connecting wirelessly. When they were wired I had set it up so that I
was able to browse files both ways. Now I can't do that anymore nor
play networked games locally because the mac isn't being found. The
mac has no difficulty accessing the internet same with the laptop. I
had set up file sharing in OS X and set up the firewall properly. I
don't know what else to do, what changed and why is it giving me so
much grief?
