Angry small network problem

Hello,
I'm in the process of trying to get two Windows XP machines networked together so I can pull a file off my laptop onto my desktop. The Network Setup wizard goes ok and I can see laptop in My Network Places, but when I go to get the shared file off of it, I am asked for a password. The laptop has no password configured, and on my desktop I am logged in as administrator, so i shouldn't have any problems, but I do. Please help!

Use the laptop to move the file to the desktop.

In the User Accounts on the laptop create a new account for the Desktop.
