Have a look here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;188305 (the term
'server' refers to any machine that you are having trouble seeing via My
Network Places. This can be a workstation.)

As for the XP machine with "access denied" -- you said you are logged on as
admin, but as the admin of what? If the machine is not a member of the
domain, then the Domain Admins group will not be a member of its local
Administrators group, and you will not be considered an administrator.
Also, even if it is in the domain, its possible that someone else with admin
rights on that machine removed the Domain Admins group from the local
Administrators group. Although by removing from the domain and rejoining
you should have cleared that up...
