Cannot Connect to Shares on Win XP Home edition

[Guest]

Have a laptop from work running Win2k, can't access printer or shares on my
Windows XP home machine.
When I attempt to access the share, I get:
no logon servers available to service the logon request

I am connected via a linksys broadband router/switch, running Zone Alarm Pro
on the XP computer, with the Linksys network Trusted.

Both computers are running NetBIOS over TCP/IP
I have verified that the browser service is running on the xp machine
I have verified that the guest account is active on the XP machine.

Any ideas?

Here is ipconfig from the XP machine:

Run the Network Setup Wizard on the XP computer -- that usually fixes
the problem. Tell the Wizard that it connects to the Internet through
a residential gateway.

If it doesn't, make sure that the Guest account is enabled for network
access by typing this line at a command prompt:

net user guest /active:yes

Enabling the Guest account in Control Panel | User Accounts has
nothing to do with network access.
