They are all part of a workgroup and they share resources. They worked before, and nothing has been changed.

Go into your adminstrative tools on the xp workstations and verify that the security for the workstations allow for access this computer from the network. Next make sure that all are members of the same workgroup and verify the TCP/IP configuration. When you share resources on a workstation, check security and make sure the group everyone has the needed access rights to the share.

The security is set to give access to all the computers on the network. Now I can ping the xp work station, but i cannot ping the win2k workstation from the other workstations.

You also have to enable the guest acct on each workstation that has shares that you want the other workstations to be able to access.
