File sharing XP Home - XP home

Hi, im hoping someone can help. I have two pc's networked on a linksys WRT54G one wired desktop, the other wireless desktop. Both machines are running XP home. I have setup the file and printer sharing on both machines using the network setup wizard. All machines can ping each other. The problem i am having is i am able to locate the shared folder on the wired PC from the wireless but unable to access the shared folders on the wireless PC from the wired. The Computer is listed in the view workgroup computers but when attempting to access it an error message is not accessible. You might not hae permissions to use this network resource. Contact the administrator blah blah. When attempting a right click to view properties it states this computer is not accepting incoming requests. Windows firewall has been disabled on both PC's. Please can someone advise. Thanks
