What's the complete and exact error message?

One of the most common causes of this problem would be a misconfigured or
overlooked personal firewall, or other security component. There are several
other possibilities too, and any might be the cause of your problem.

Or we could look at "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all", from each computer,
and diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow
instructions precisely (download browstat!):

Chuck I found out that if I created a user account for each computer on
each computer "in the workgroup" then I was able to see and access each
computer from any other computer.
