Hi Tattoozit!

how are you trying to access the shared folders and printer?

assuming your PC's IP address is 192.168.1.1 and your Laptop is 192.168.1.2, are they able to PING each other?

you *should* be able to type the IP address of the PC into the address bar of Windows Explorer (\\192.168.1.1 for example) on the laptop and see all the shared items on the PC.
