How to connect to laptop on LAN network?

I have connected a friends laptop to my LAN network and he can surf the web as well as I can. But What I can not seem to find out how to do... is connect to his laptop. I dumped a load of RAW picture files on his laptop during a holiday and would like to inport them now into my Aperture library...

Any words of wisdom to help me on my way?

Many thanks, Floor

No problems then. Follow these instructions: http://macs.about.com/od/networking/qt/sharingleopard.htm

Additional tips:

1) Make sure that the firewall is not set to "essential services only" (System Preferences/Security/Firewall)
2) Make sure that the Guest account is allowed access to shared folders (System Preferences/Accounts/Guest Account)

Cheers,

Rodney
