networking problem

[David TY]

Sorry if this is the wrong NG.

I have a workgroup, with 2 PCs.
One XP Pro, one Win 2000.

XP has no problem accessing the Win2K PC.
The win2K PC sees the XP PC in network neighbourhood,
but is denied access to its resources.

The popup window reads ...
---------------------------
\\PCname is not accessible.
Access is denied.
---------------------------

Disks and printer are shared.
Username and password are identical.
zonealarm is configured to allow the local IPs.
windows firewall is OFF.

What might be the cause?
