No permission to acces host PC from other PCs on network

[Guest]

I have 3 PC connected to a network through a hub. Since some time I can acces
both client PC's from the host, but I cannot acces anymore the host from the
other client PC's.
I changed the names of all PC's but this didn't solve the problem. I have
even now a larger list of shared folders from the different PC names that I
used. Even if I change the workgroup name, the problem persists.
What's the solution ? and how can I remove the "ghost" shared folders from
the list of shared folders on the network ?
All PC's run Win XP professional.
There are no hardware problems.

many thanks in advance

Charbel,

The best chance is that this is a firewall problem.

Also, check for a browser problem.
