Windows 2000 Pro needs password to connect to XP Pro network??

Ok, heres the deal. For some strange reason our computers are acting up. I have searched TechNet with no good answer. We run mainly Windows 2000 Pro computers with Windows 2000 Servers and some of our newer machines (all Dell) have XP Pro on them. For some reason the XP Pro machines have reverted back to the factory “MSHOME” user groups. And also the XP machines cant see the 2000 machines on the network but the 2000 can see the XP. But when you try to actuall access them you get a “Incorrect password or user name for:” box. Umm.. wtf?? We went in and adjusted NetBIOS like some places suggest but that didnt change the problem. Any thoughts??
