Can't browse My Netork Places after XP SP2

[Guest]

We have several computers that cannot browse My Network Places since
installing XP Pro SP2. The error message is:

\\servername\volume is not accessible. You might not have permission to use
this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out
if you have access permissions.

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

We are members of the local administrator group (trying to get away from
this but too many apps we have need that) and I this worked fine before SP2.
So, which setting(s) do I need to change in SP2 that will allow us to browse
through My Network Places? This is affecting other applications as well.

Service Pack 2 automatically enables the Windows Firewall. If you are
not running a third-party firewall, go to the Windows Firewall applet
in Control Panel and enable File & Printer Sharing on the Exceptions
tab. If you are using a third-party firewall (and have properly
configured it to allow your lan traffic as Trusted), then turn the
Windows Firewall off. You don't want two firewalls running, and a
third-party program will be better than the WF. All firewalls must be
properly configured to allow lan traffic as Trusted.
