Mapped Network Drive cannot be created

I am trying to map a network drive, but I keep getting this message at the
last mapping step:
The Mapped Network Drive could not be created - The Network Location cannot
be reached.

All services seem to be ok, I'm logged on as Admin, I can see the drives,
just not ACCESS them! Any ideas as to why? Where should I look to get
connected? One PC in the workgroup is XPPro, two are XP HOME EDITION. It's
the XP Pro that can't connect.

Thanks!

XP PRO defaults to WORKGROUP workgroup.
XP HOME defaults to MSHOME workgroup.
Must be the same, workgroup, user, password and sharing
must be set up for the folders.
