Hello. I set up my network to share files between a laptop and my desktop
over a wireless connection. I didn't use a disk, but did them seperately. I
can't access any shared files in My Network Places in either computer. Did I
do something wrong?

It could be a firewall issue. Make sure all firewalls are off or open
the range of IP addresses. If you are on a network, you don't need an
additional firewall other than your router.

go to start - run and type \\(computer name) to get the most direct
connection

Also, start - run - type 'cmd' to get a command prompt.

at the DOS prompt try to ping each other. type
ping 192.168.1.xxx
to test it.
