On the router there's like a reset button on the back. Try doing that, and re-setting up everything.

Try a new workgroup, and start the "Setup a home or small office network" wizard.

ok i think i figured out whats causing it...basically i can see the desktop from my laptop in our workgroup but i can't see the laptop from my desktop in the workgroup
and even when i see the desktop in the workgroup i can't access it i just see it anyways when i do "set up a home or office network" on the desktop and in the finishing stage it says an error has occured and could not be done or something to that affect, but on the laptop it sets it up fine any solutions? ideas?
