W2k logons fail after XP upgrade

[MarkJ]

I have two computers on a workgroup LAN behind a cable
modem.
Each has a shared printer and several shared folders.

I upgraded one computer to Win XP Pro earlier today.
The second computer is running W2k and can no longer
access any of the shared folders on the XP machine, nor
can the W2k system print to the shared laserjet on
the XP machine.
Error messages are "logon failed: user account
restriction" or "access denied"
The XP machine can access all shared folders and the
epson printer on the W2k machine, so one way is working.
I've been all over the knowledgebase and newsgroups
because I am sure this is something simple!
Thanks for your help.

Username/Passwords must be the same on both systems and those users must
have the rights necessary to do whatever you are trying to do.

Simple File Sharing should be turned off.

Also, if you have the firewall on the XP computer, it must be configured to
allow file/printer sharing and/or you turn off the firewall. (Former
recommended.)

[MarkJ] We have 2 accounts on each computer, both have
the same name. Neither have a password. Neither were
changed when I upgraded the one machine to WinXP. I
cleared the passwords again anyway just now, rebooted
both systems, and no change to the original problem.

[MarkJ] I have verified this is NOT CHECKED under Folder
Options | View menu.

[MarkJ] The XP ICF is NOT CHECKED, so it is not enabled.
