Shared folder access denied error

I have a home network with 3 PC's running XP Home SP2 and a Linksys Router. I
had to replace the mother board in one of the computers and since then some
.... not all ... shared directories are not accessible from the other 2
computers. If I attempt to open some of the folders I get an error message
that says

"You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the
administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.

Access is denied."

If I check the offending folders on the computer where they live, the folder
properties show them as being Shared. Also the other computers are completely
accessible so it looks like a one way problem.

Does anyone here had a similar problem and found a fix? I've tried unsharing
and resharing with no success.
