OK, an "error = 5" is access denied.
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/mysterious-error-5-aka-access-denied.html>
You'll get "error = 5" from a firewall or restrictanonymous problem, or a file
sharing setup problem. You need to consider ZA as a candidate for the cause.
Disabling ZA is not always successful; you may need to either un install it
(using all instructions from ZoneLabs), or configure it properly.

<http://nh2.nohold.net/noHoldCust25/Prod_1/Articles55646/CompleteUninstallNonNT.html
You also should look at file sharing. You have a pair of XP Pro computers. Are
they running Simple, or Classical, File Sharing? If Classical, using Guest or
non-Guest authentication? This makes a major difference; Guest authentication
will give "error = 5" in browstat, guaranteed. As will non-Guest accounts, with
inadequate authorisation.
