What happens when you try?
You might be running into this: Windows XP Home Edition allows a
maximum of 5 other computers to connect to its shared resources
simultaneously. Computers that aren't actively connected to a
computer's shared resources don't count against the limit. When a
computer disconnects from a shared resource, it no longer counts
against the limit. See this site for more information:
