system error 5 is permission issue. even you have assign everyone to the shared folder, also check the security settings.

  Hi,

  I am setting up new PC from scratch. I installed Windows XP SP2 and
  connected it to my LAN. On the network connection, I enabled Client for MS
  Networks, File and Printer Sharing for MS Networks, Qos Packet Scheduler, and
  TCP/IP, giving it a static IP address of 192.168.3.3. I also created a
  shared folder and granted permission to 'Everyone'.

  If I go to another PC on my LAN and type 'net view', the name of the new pc
  (\\NewPC) shows up in the list. If I type 'net view \\NewPC', I get 'System
  error 5 - Access is denied'. Can anyone tell me if there is anything I can
  check to see why I am getting this?

  Thanks,
  Paul
