From my desktop I can see my laptop shared files but from my laptop, I cannot
view my share documents in my Desktop. I get this error:

assuming you have enabled sharing, have you created the same username on the desktop?

I do have the same workgroup and file sharing. I do not have a the same user
name on the desktop. Do both user names need to be the same? Thanks

I can get the laptop's documents on to the desktop, but not the other way
around.

Create identical user accounts and passwords on both machines. Then the
authentication will not fail.

When you say username, is it the same username accounts in the control panel.
Thanks for your help.

Yes. Go to the User Accounts applet in Control Panel on both machines.
Create identical user accounts and passwords. Creating passwords is
better for networking than having no passwords (and you can then log in
automatically if you like) but with only two machines you can have no
passwords.
