My laptop and Desktop previously were able to share files and the printer connected to the desktop. They no longer 'see' each other, cannot share files and I cannot print from the laptop to the printer connected to the desktop.

The desktop is running Vista, the laptop is running XP.

The Vista machine will actually see the laptop at the Network window, but when I try and access the laptop via that window, I get a message that reads: Windows cannot access \"Computername"

It gives me a message for error code 0x80070035
The network path was not found.

I have tried resetting the wireless connection. I have made sure all files/folder printers were allowed to be shared.

I even brought in a second laptop (a friend's) into the network, and it WAS able to share and print.

The non-working laptop can access the network for internet, but will not allow any sharing of files or use connected printer.

Does anybody have any ideas on how to solve this? Be technical, step by step if you can.
