After installing SP2 and ZoneAlarm I kind of locked myself in my desktop to
the point where I can not even see the network group. The funny thing is that
I can acces the desktop from my laptop easily, but not viceversa, could
someone help me? Also, when I try to connect I get a message saying that my
Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing is not on, and can't turn it on
either. But I do not use a computer to access internet, I use a Linksys
wirelss router to acces from any computer.

Please help me.

The first thing you need to do is uninstall (not just disable) the ZoneAlarm
firewall on both computers, then see what your network access looks like.
