Unable to connect laptop to home network

I have been trying to setup my laptop to my home network. I am using a linksys wireless-G Cable gateway router. My home computer is running XP Home Edition and my Laptop is running XP media. Everytime I try and setup my network I can see both computers in my workgroup on one computer, but I cannot get the workgroup to show on the other. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling file and print sharing for ms networks on both computers, however, it still doesn't work. I can ping each computer from the other but still cannot connect. I have both computers directly connected to my gateway via DHCP. Can someone assist me with this issue.

Have you given it a little time with all of the machines up and running? Sometimes you gotta let those little MS wheels turn for a while!
