I have something similar going on with a slightly different twist. I have
two machines networked thru a Westell Versalink 327A DSL router/modem.
Prior, I had two machines running MS Win 98 SE, SR2 installed. Both machines
had full access to files and connected devices on the other. Subsequently, I
replaced one machine with a brand new Compaq which came with XP Home
installed. The older machine has always had full access to the new one, BUT
NOT vis versa. The XP machine can see the name of the older machine, but has
no drive or peripheral access. Unfortunately, the only printer is attached
to the older machine and it's not been accessible. I have shutoff all
firewall stuff on the XP machine and tried temporarily shutting down Zone
Alarm on the older machine, which is the only firewall product running on it.
I've installed a lot of networks, but have run out of ideas with this mess.
I suspect that XP Home is network crippled, but have nothing specific to base
that on. Your situation suggests that may be true, especially since your XP
Pro machines talk just fine.
