I have a three computer network in my home.  One of the computers, a laptop, can no longer access shared files on the main computer.  I think this may have happened when I changed the way the laptop computer is connected.  It used to be hard wired to my router. Now, it is connected in a wireless manner to a Belkin Access Point that is, in turn, hard wired to the router.

The main computer can still access the laptop's shared files and transfer them.  Both computers can successfully ping each other.  However, when the laptop tries to access shared files on the main computer or a networked printer it fails.  An error message says that "permission" is denied.

All three computers are running Windows XP.  I've checked and re-checked all settings, etc., but can find no way to restore the laptop's access to shared stuff on the main computer.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.
