Sharing B/w Windows XP and Windows 7 via Single Wifi-Modem

Hello, I have a laptop having windows 7 in it and a desktop having Windows XP SP3, both the laptop and Desktop are connected to a single wifi-modem[I don't have any router b/w, my modem has wifi and router in it in simple it is a router, a modem and a wifi device ] The problem is when i tries to do sharing b/w my desktop & laptop,neither I can see my laptop in 'My network Places' at desktop nor see my desktop on my laptop.
I've done all the basic steps: like by workgroup is same, and all necessary things in 'Network and sharing' at win 7. I still cant see see the computers, though i can ping my laptop from desktop and my desktop from the laptop.

P.S: Laptop is connected through WIFI and Desktop is connected through wire.

No, It didn't help me. Please re-read my post.
Actually I don't want to share my printer, the problem with me is that neither by desktop nor my laptop are showing on either sides, though both of them are connected through a single network [i.e a Wifi Modem REMEMBER: No router between, directly single wifi modem]
