A quick and easy solution would be to download Network Magic (free) onto 
your desktop/server. During installation it should find all the network 
devices, including the laptop, and set everything up to work together. 
During the install (if I remember correctly) it will also install itself 
onto the laptop. The installation is easy but not automatic since you 
need to select any folders/devices you want to share over your network. 
I've been using Network Magic for quite a while after I became 
frustrated trying to set up a LAN with 3 computers and a printer.
