Problem networking PC to laptop

Ok guys bear with me, this is my first attempt at networking. Am trying to link up my new laptop to my PC, both systems using XP Pro, home PC FAT32 laptop NTFS. Using a crossover cable, have used the networking wizard and i have manually set the IP addresses/subnet mask. From the laptop i can see the home PC in my network places but cannot access it. Can't see anything from the home PC. I can ping the computers in either direction. I was trying to set up a shared folder but i think i messed it up. any advice would be appreciated.
