When I had this problem, I disabled the firewall in Window xp as well as the firewall in Antivirus. Try this if it works for you.

Aria,

Are any of the computers XP Pro? If so, check to see if Simple File Sharing
(Control Panel - Folder Options - View - Advanced settings) is enabled or
disabled. With XP Pro, you need to have the SFS settings the same on each
computer.

If SFS is disabled, check the Local Security Policy (Control Panel -
Administrative Tools). Under Local Policies - Security Options, look at
"Network access: Sharing and security model", and ensure it's set to "Classic -
local users authenticate as themselves".

If you set the Local Security Policy to "Guest only", make sure that the Guest
account is enabled, and has an identical, non-blank, password on all computers.
If "Classic", setup and use a common account with identical, non-blank, password
on all computers.

Do any of the computers have a software firewall (ICF or third party)? If so,
you need to configure them for file sharing, by opening ports TCP 139, 445 and
UDP 137, 138, 445, and / or by identifying the other computers as present in the
Local (Trusted) zone. Firewall configurations are a very common cause of
(network) browser, and file sharing, problems.

Cheers,
Chuck
