Greetings --

   On the WinXP PCs, create local user account(s), with non-blank
password(s), that have the desired access privileges to the desired
shares. Log on to the other PCs using those account(s), and you will
be able to access the designated shares, provided your network is
configured properly. Make sure that all three computers are using the
same networking protocol, are members of the same workgroup, and are
on the same subnet.

  Usually, WinXP's Networking Wizard makes it simple and painless --
almost entirely automatic, in fact. There's a lot of useful,
easy-to-follow information in WinXP's Help & Support files, and here:

You can have peace.  Or you can have freedom.  Don't ever count on
having both at once. -- RAH
