Cannot access workgroup computers

I have a workgroup network setup through a hub which we
share internet access through. My computer "A" is what I
use as the "server." All other computers can access mine
but I am unable to access theirs. All firewalls have been
disabled all sharing options are selected. I have
exhausted my limited resources on this matter. I have had
the network running fine with our current setup, it just
one day gave me an "access denied" message when I tried to
access other computers. We are all using Windows XP Pro
except one (the main one I need access too) and it is
using XP Home. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I
have searched the newsgroup and have tried a great many
ideas but none have worked yet. Thank you in advance.

Has your username/password account on the other machines been locked out or

Will,
It should not have since I have resone the entire
workgroup. My old workgroup name was 3D and I set up
another one as 3D1 just to see if that was a possibility
but I am still locked out. I just cannot figure out what
happened from one day to the next to make it stop working.
No software or hardware changes on any computer, and no
updates were downloaded. I am completely stumped.

Greetings.

How many pcs are in your workgroup?

Will,
Sorry for the delay, I am ultimately using four, but for
now I just have 2. I have a hub, and we all connect
through the internet through it. The Internet works fine
on all computers but I am completely locked out. They can
access me but I cannot access them.
