Re: Windows Xp networking Problem
I've run into that problem before at work. I think some versions of XP deny remote access to any network resources until the Network Setup Wizard is run. Click start, go to All Programs, Accessories, Communications, Network Setup Wizard. My guess is some services are turned off, or permissions aren't properly set for remote access.

The setup wizard will ask you a bunch of questions about your setup, so just answer them as you would want your network to be set up. At the end of the wizard, it will go through and reset all the permissions in the appropriote places, and activate all the required services for network communication. Once all is said and done, reboot the host computer, then try to access it again.
