Vista - Networking problem need help

Hello, firstly I want to say, im a first time poster but have been visting this site for a bit. Heres my issue

I have 2 laptop computers connected wireless to a 2wire gateway (dsl modem/router combined)

In the network connection sharing, i see both me and my wifes laptop on the full map on her computer and my computer.

I can not accessed shared files or desktop remote connection.

I do have file sharing on and both computers are set on the same workgroup. All firewalls are configured and i've tried it with all firewalls turned off (vista firewall and gateway firewall).

Im all out of ideas, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Is the IP allowed on both computers to see each other via "ping" command??

I tried to use the ping command in cmd propt and i get request timeout the ipv4 on mine has just changed it was 192.168.1.64 and hers is 192.168.1.66

Check your firewall setting's and make sure that both IP's are allowed on both computers.

firewall is off, no change.

im sorry i probably should have told you both machines are vista not having xp on either machine. i do appreciate your responses and help though.

Just an update guys, i have fixed it. I installed windows 7 build 7100 on both and it works like a charm, even remote desktop.
