One of the most common causes of this problem would be a misconfigured or
overlooked personal firewall, or other security component. There are several
other possibilities too, and any might be the cause of your problem. Read this
article with an open mind.

With Windows 98, Windows 2000, and Windows XP on the same LAN, there's always
the possibility of a browser conflict. Windows 9x (93, 98, ME) and Windows NT
(NT, 2000, XP) systems don't work well together.

Look at "browstat status", "ipconfig /all", "net config server", and "net
config workstation", from each computer, and diagnose the problem. Read this
article, and linked articles, and follow instructions precisely (download
browstat!):

Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what is allowed
to be shared.
