I can see netork drive but not network places

[lenny]

Hi,
I have 3 XP Pro machines on a network. The server machine (XP Pro machine
used as the internet connection on a dial up set up and ICS or the other 2
machines) can see both the other computers using all standard methods, e.g.
My network places and map network drive. And from those methods access is no
problem.

The other 2 machines can see each other using the same methods without any
problems but both of them can only see previously set up Mapped network
drives to the server machine. If I try looking in My network places the
shared folders are not visible. If I go up one stage to my network computers
the server machine can be seen but not accessed. I can ping the server
machine with no problems

Please, Why is this the case. ] I have tried changing the network hub but
there is no difference. I have waited overnight and also made sure that the
Computer Browser service is started as is NetBIOS over TCP/IP.
I am now completely stuck so any suggestions would be soooooo appreciated!
Cheers
Lenny

Thanks for that MrB. I have tried all of those and the only thing that seems
different is that when I run ipconfig the Node Type comes back as Unknown.
It seems to me, as all the computers can see each other in some way, that it
must be a permissions setting on the server to allow the clients to access
it? Just a thought. So I am still very much stuck.
