In order to connect your laptop to desktop for file transfer or other
things as well. Why don't you try this software that will allow you to do
the job with least amount of work. here is the link
A link to the page rather than the file is better (who knows, it may be a
worm)

In the network wizzard did you select connect through a residential gateway
or router, and are you useing a firewall as this will stop computers seeing
each other, plus the workgroup name needs to be the same on the computers
you want to share files with this is also in the network wizzard.

your laptop and desktop are essentially parts of your lan. As such, you
need to share the files you would like to access from the network. this
can be done by either placing the file in the share folder or sharing the
file manually. Right-click properties etc.

Dude!
Make sure that you have got the file and print sharing enabled under the
lan properties. All the computers should have same workgroup name and a
different computer name. All the computers should be able to ping each
other. Make sure that your personal firewall have allowed to communicate to
each other. Try this troubleshooting and i'm sure it'll defenetly work for
u.
