I have 3 computers connected with a peer to peer
network. Two of the computers have XP Pro and the other
has XP Home. I have no problem accessing the shared
files on the computer with XP Home with the other two
computer but I have had problems accessing the shared
file on the XP Pro computers from the XP Home computer
and the other XP Pro computer. I can see the computer
from Explorer but when I click on it I get an "access
denied" message that I may not have permission to access
this computer. I have searched through a lot of
documenation in the Microsoft knowledgebase and found
nothing that helps. At times I have been able to access
the XP Pro computers okay but most of the time I get
the "access denied" message. Any suggestions would be
appreciated.

I found my answer! It is Zone Alarm.

Could be caused by your firewall on this computer. Hope this helps. In my
case, I uninstall the firewall and everything is fine. But I am worried as
this leaves me defenseless against hackers, etc.
