I have set up my home network using wireless router. My laptop (Vista) sees
all the files I've designated as "Shared" on my desktop pc (XP). However,
When I'm on my desktop pc (XP) I CANNOT see any sign of my laptop (Vista) on
the network.

I've checked firewall restrictions and read several ms articles but I CAN'T
FIND THE PROBLEM!!!

Can anyone Help!?!?!?!?!

Without any information about how you've configured the network, it's
hard to say what the problem is. This article has some tips that
should help:
