Greetings M. Abdun,
The users may not have permission on the other computer you are trying to
access due to a local security policy.
To resolve this problem, go to Administrative Tools and open the Local
Security Policy. Expand 'User Rights Assignment' in the left pane and Double
click on "Access this computer from the network." What users are allowed to
access the computer? Make sure the Users, Groups, Everyone, or any users you
want in list to have access.
Also, in the Local Security Policy scroll and find "Deny access to this
computer from the network." Double click or right click on it and choose
Properties. Make sure nobody in there is listed besides Support and Guests.
These tips should help get everything working.
1. Make sure the XP's firewall is disabled. It will block file and printer
sharing by default. If you installed a third party firewall such as
ZoneAlarm, Sygate or Norton Internet Security, make sure it is properly
configured for the network.
2. Ensure NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled. Details here.
Enable NetBIOS Over TCP/IP (NetBT)

3. Use TCP/IP as the only network protocol. Uninstall NetBEUI or IPX/SPX if
they are present. Make sure you are using the same network protocol on all
machines.
Try testing your network and see if you can access the other computer and
shares this way.
Click Start | Run, then type one of these commands in the box and click OK:
\\computer
\\computer\share
\\IP-address
\\IP-address\share
Let us know how it goes.
