I have a XP desktop and a Vista laptop hooked to cable as well as a Linksys WRT54G2 for the wireless. My question is how to I set up the network so that I can see my icons on my desktop as well as have access to all storage devices attached through my laptop? In other words I want my laptop to look and act just like my desktop.

It's called remote desktop in Windows XP Pro (The Home edition doesn't have it).
There are free-ware solutions also, next to a wide range of commercial solutions. -

Actually home has it too, but it's the one being controlled. Requires XP Pro to control the home versions......

Logmein
&
Teamviewer
are both free and easy to use programs for computer remote control.
Easier and more compatible than windows' remote connection software. -
You don't even have to have remote desktop to do this. Just have a few desktop folders set to be shared over the network.
The icons and stuff will have to be available over RDP though.
