splat PC not visible in home network workgroup

I have set up a home network using a wired PC and a wireless laptop. I have
tried running the network setup wizard, and every time I have the same
result. I am able to view the laptop in the workgroup from both computers,
but the wired PC never shows up in the workgroup view on either computer. I
have enabled file sharing and disabled firewalls on both computers. I am
able to ping both computers without a problem. I am unable to map a drive to
the wired computer as well. I am therefore unable to share resources from
the wired PC to the laptop without "pushing" them into the laptop's "shared"
folder. This problem is driving me crazy- I have tried every solution I can
find on the web and nothing seems to work. PLEASE HELP!

Have you tried installing NetBEUI?
