Have 3 computers Networked,(dsl,hub,+switch) 1-Me., 1-2000, 1-xp. Problem is, Me, and 2000 can access each others files, but not the XP. The 2000, recognizes the xp, but cannot access, all Clients,Services Protocols,+ Permissions, have been set. Have special names and my own Workgroup name, and Xp will not see the Workgroup. Worst of all is that it worked in the past, and with no changes, does not work now after, Networking and Tools, uninstalled and reinstalled.

well when you are able to see the computers it means they can be accessed. Check for the file and printer sharing option in the network neighbourhood properties. Also try to click on the repair network connections so that if there are any problemsit would be solved on winxp computer. Then check out whether it works. Winxp is working for sure with ME, and Win2000.
