Thanks John! But I think the problem was that McAfee was actually running a
firewall! Disabled it and now all working!

I have 3 PCs running XP Pro - SP3 all connected via MS Windows
Network, and all sharing Internet connection.
Just got a notebook running XP Home - SP3. Conected it to
network. Found internet no problem. Can see all other PC's from
notebook, and can access shared folders no problem.
From the PC I can see notebook listed within network, but cannot
access shared folders/files. Get message "Network path not found"
and advised that I may not have permission to use, etc...
Have read thru similar posts and tried some of the suggestions but
to no avail.
Help!!
Since notebook is running XP Home, it is using Simple File Sharing and
all file access is through the "guest" account. Make sure your guest
account is active:
Start->Run-> "cmd"
net user guest
In the resulting printout, verify the line:
Account active Yes
Secondly, make sure you aren't trying to share any folder directly
under "Documents and Settings", the "Windows" folder, or the "Program
Files" folder.
One other thing you might try is:
