Wireless network not working.

Hey guyz Ive had a wirless network for some time now, but I recently reformatted my PC and I can no longer share files between it and my laptop. I can still share my internet connection. I have run the wizard and set everything up the same way I did last time but when I try to view anything on my PC or Laptop I get this message.

"//Emachines370 is not accessible. You do not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator to find out if you have access permissions.

The network path was not found"

This has me mind boggeled!! I must have missed something but I cant figure out what!

Thanx in advance.

Project - Buckfast

ok, step by step here starting with the operating systems on each machine - im guessing XP but home/pro? - it can make a difference.

im guessing the guest account isnt enable on the main machine, a way round this that may work is syncronising your user accounts on both machines so they both use the same user name and password, i find this ususaly enables you to get in.

Im not a networking genuis but i once heard that you can log on to your laptop from you pc using the laptops username and password.

Also you could re-share the files. I have that exact same problem and im trying to get round to fixing it so if you do fix it let me know.
