How to connect laptop to desktop via router

Can't seem to get access to my main PC from my laptop.
Have got the printer set up networked.
Can see my laptop from my PC but it says I don't have permission to access it and the same from my laptop to PC.
Have set up sharing but it does not work.
By the way running Vista ultimate 64bit on PC and Vista home premium 32bit on laptop.
What I would really like is to access my Esata drive that is plugged into my Main PC. Any help thanks

Do both of your machines have usernames with passwords, seem to recall that now being a requirement for sharing files under windows.

I don't sign on to my computer is this what you mean
