    Can't get my laptop connected to my home network(done through my desktop).
    I tried both windows zero configuration and screwing around with the firewalls on my laptop to no avail. <.<

    So, can you actually connect to the network (ie can you get "Connected" as the network status in Wireless Zero config) or you can't get even that?

    What router are you using? Wireless on some routers doesn't work properly with 3945 card (stupid, I know).

    No connection at all. I think it might be a firewall from my desktop ...
