Trouble networking

[Guest]

I have configured a newtork with 3 computers using the network setup wizard. All computers recognize each other as all appear on the workgroup members screen. All are running WIN XP. The desktops have XP Pro the laptop XP Home. The desktops can share files with each other, the laptop can share files with either laptop. When ever I trie to even check the status of the laptop from "either" desktop I get an "access denied see network administrator" Unfortunately I am the admin. I have turned off the firewall. Pinged everything in site "arped" set static etc. etc. I've rebuilt the network several times. The laptop is their and is recognized but somewhere in it is something that won't allow any type of access. HELP!
