Ok, here is the new views you asked for:

Net View From XP Pro: (strange)
-------------------------
  C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>net view 192.168.0.2
  System error 1005 has occurred.

  The volume does not contain a recognized file system.
  Please make sure that all required file system drivers are loaded and that
the v
  olume is not corrupted.

  C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>net view 192.168.0.3
  System error 1005 has occurred.

  The volume does not contain a recognized file system.
  Please make sure that all required file system drivers are loaded and that
the v
  olume is not corrupted.

Notes:
1) From this XP Pro I am not even able to expand the Workgroup name to see
the two computers.
2) I have not done it since last reboot, but I believe I CAN "Search for
Computers" and find \\nairobi. but the icon is dim and I cannot see anything
by clicking on it.
