SYMPTOMS
Your Windows 2000 Professional-based or Windows Server 2003-based client
computer may not be able to connect to file or printer shares on your local
network.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur when the Windows 2000 Professional-based or Windows
Server 2003-based client is running a third-party personal firewall
program.
RESOLUTION

MORE INFORMATION
Personal firewall programs are designed for use by home or small office
computers that are connected to the Internet by a cable modem or by a
digital signal line (DSL) connection. They block most ports, including

firewall program is configured for the network adapter connected to the
local area network (LAN), it will block all network file and printer
connections.

Second option
Try to remove file and print sharing and add again
