Don't see your question but I have one: How do I make the shares on an XP machine visible and accessible?

I have two folders to share. My other two XP Pro machines work fine with this. I am using "workgroup" and "share". The computer sees, mounts and reads the shares from the other two computers but the other two computers cannot mount the shares from this XP Pro due to "access denied". The other two computers can also mount the shares from each other. I also cannot mount the shares from this XP Pro computer from either Mac OS X or linux although I can use the shares from the other two XP Pro computers easily.

I have set both the file preferences and the sharing preferences. I have checked the file-sharing and printer-sharing boxes for the firewall which is on. I have given ownership to the administrator. Each computer has the same users and the users have the same password on each computer. The shared folders are set to readable by everyone and the sharing permissions are set to everyone.

What am I missing? Is there a service I disabled that's blocking the share?
