I have 3 machines runnung XP. Although one of the
machines shows up properly named in the My Network Places
window and displays it's contents when clicked, I am able
to access only "Shared Documents" and a couple of other
directories.

This occurs even though I have marked all the directories
in question as shared.

Thanks!
 
Make sure all computers on the network are in the same workgroup.
Can you access the folders using a UNC path to the remote computer i.e. from
the start run bar \\computername\myshare?
Also try \\computername\c$
If that fails try going to the remote computer and browsing itself to see if
the shares show up there. If this fails validate you are actually sharing
the folders in question.
