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.
