If it matters....

The wireless connection is called OurWirelessNetwork and is encrypted. It was set up on the desktop (with advice given here). The laptop found the connection and once I entered the encryption key, all was good as far as connecting to the internet.

On the desktop there is a Home network with these names:

Computer description: HOME

Computer name: HOME1

Workgroup name: MSHOME

There are shared directorys on the desktop's C drive and the printer is shared and named printer.

On the new laptop I've tried to find the other computer and the printer, but can't.
