Well I was more interested in what you can ping from / to
the Windows XP box
but...

> I can ping all machines from the XP box as well

Are you running both Client for Microsoft Networks, and
File and Printer Sharing
for Microsoft Networks, on the Windows XP box?

> Yes I am running both

Please provide ipconfig information for the Windows XP,
and for one other box
that can see it in "view computers near me" (ie a working
box).
Start - Run - "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt" - Open
c:\ipconfig.txt in
Notepad, copy and paste into your next post.

Are the shared folders on a FAT or NTFS partition?

> NTFS

Check to see if Simple File Sharing (Control Panel -
Folder Options - View -
Advanced settings) is enabled or disabled.

> Disabled

If SFS is disabled, check the Local Security Policy
(Control Panel -
Administrative Tools). Under Local Policies - Security
Options, look at
"Network access: Sharing and security model", and ensure
it's set to "Classic -
local users authenticate as themselves".

> This mode is set to Classic - local users authenticate

If you set the Local Security Policy to "Guest only", make
sure that the Guest
account is enabled, and has a non-blank password.
If "Classic", setup and use a
common account with identical password on both computers.

Chuck
