Win XP -Me-98 network problem

[Agent]

Hello!
I work in a company that has over 30 computers! They are
runing diferent os from 98 to XP! Everything works
fine, 'til few days ago! We have decided (recomended for
our protection) to put MS01-059, MS02-061, MS03-026 and
MS03-007 security patches on our computers using XP os!
From that day we have a problems! Computers runing XP can
see and access entire network ,except those computers that
are runing XP with those (stupit) security patches!
Every other computer can see and access every computer
(ofcourse not XP)! So basicly XP acts like it has firewall
enabled but it is DISABLED!
Does anybody have any idea?

assuming the ics is disabled, ca you ping each by ip? if yes, can you ping
by name? if yes, what do you get if using net view command?

I can ping it by IP and by name!
When I type net view \\computername I get following
message :"Error 5: You do not currently have access to
this file. The file may be
marked read-only, or it may be part of a shared resource
such as a folder, a
named pipe, a queue, or a semaphore. You can use the
ATTRIB command to change
the read-only attribute, or try again later when the file
may be available."
And yes, ICF is disabled!
