Hi. I'm trying to setup a network between my main PC (This one.) and my laptop but I'm having a bit of trouble. I am trying to set it up so this PC can see the laptop on the network but the laptop can't see it. I had it setup this initially but after reformatting Windows on this computer I've needed to set it again and ran into these problems:

Both computers are setup up to the same Workgroup but either can see the other at all. I have file sharing disabled on the PC but it is enabled on the laptop. All the laptop can see is it's own folder, while the PC sees nothing at all. My laptop's name is just LAPTOP and it comes up as SharedDocs on Shin (Laptop) under my network. While my friend and I were messing around we changed the name of it several times trying to find a solution so that's one of them. I am using a Linksys WRT54G router and it's configured to allow the laptop access.
