XP pro & XP Home Networking problem

[Dana]

I have a home network consisting of 3 XP pro machines, 3
XP Home machines and 1 windows 98 machine. All machines
can access the internet through Linksys router and switch.
I can ping all machines.
I can see and print to all shared printers on all machines.

I am having problems with 2 of the XP Home computers.

1 of them can't be seen from any of the other computers.
The other can be seen but if you try to access it, I get
an access denied error.

All setting are the same. All have file sharing turned
on. All have a drive or two shared. Firewall is turned
off on all machines. All have a unique computer name and
are on the same workgroup "HOME".

I have tried everything I can think of. Please any
suggestions?

assuming you can ping the computer, do net view \\computername. what do you
get?
