On one of the XP Pro computers enable auditing of logon events in Local
Security Policy to see if there are any type three logon failures or other
events that may help determine what the problem is. Also guest access
requires that "everyone" has share and NTFS/folder permissions. You could
disable simple file sharing to see the security tab of a folder that is on
an NTFS volume to see the security permissions. Otherwise consider not using
simple file sharing and create matching users accounts/passwords on all the
computers. The links below explain more on share and NTFS/folder
permissions. --- Steve
