XP networking mystery....

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Small home network, 5 PCs all Win XP (4 "Home", 1 Pro").

All have sharing of shared folders enabled (read only), one shares a printer
(other printer on network directly).

All access the shared folders and internet fine (so network is working).

Now the mystery.

Looking at "View Network Computers" and I can see all of them. However,
clicking on any of them, other than the XP Pro one, gives a permission
denied message and I can't see the facilities being shared. I can see them
on the Pro one.

Nothing in the various setups I can see accounts for this.

Ideas, please?
