Are all 3 computers in the same workgroup?

Check both for misconfigured / overlooked firewalls, and for the
restrictanonymous setting.

If no help, provide "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from each XP computer,
and we'll diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked articles, and
follow instructions precisely:
