Can't see other machines in "My network places"

Hey all,
So, for some time now, I have had a desktop computer and a laptop, both XP Pro with SP2. I have been sharing files between the two for a long time, but suddenly I can't do it any more. If I go into "my network places" on either machine, that machine will list itself but not the other one. However, each machine can go off to the internet in general, so it's not a raw connection problem -- hence how I am able to post this :).
As far as I know, I haven't changed anything on either machine, or the network topology, that would affect this. No updates or new software on either. No change in router settings (they are directly connected to the same router, though the laptop is through wifi and the desktop is a hard line). No change in permissions on the machines.
Doing some basic sloothing, I see that file sharing is enabled on each machine, and I can see the list of shared folders on a given machine when looking at that machine's entry in the network places. Also, the router doesn't seem to have any specific blocks for local traffic.
So what might be preventing the two machines from seeing each other?
Thanks.
