Networking Problems

[protege191]

I currently have a working Internet with my Laptop and Desktop using
1. DSL Modem
2. Linksys WRT54G
3. Linksys WPC54G
4. Norton Internet Security

However I cannot create a working Windows connection to share the printer. Upon hitting start/network places/View workgroup computers I can see both computers, yet when I try to access the shared folder on the laptop (or vise versa) i get this error message.

"\\(computername) is not acessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the adminstrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
The network path was not found."

What is my next step here? What have I left out? Is Norton Firewall blocking this? If so Ive tried to confiqure it, but it keeps saying the IP addresses I add in the trusted zone are already there. I am going CrAzY

Have you tried disabling Nortons firewall protection whilst you setup the network shares ? I would find it more than likely that yes Norton is blocking something.

I have tried disabling Norton while doing this and I get the same result same error message. Is it possible Norton is still working in the background?
