Never had the problem

Well since you havent stated the exact error you are having.

It can be that you don't have the guest account enabled. You may a firewall preventing access. You dont have the computers on the same workgroup. And if you are sharing with a box that is 98 or ME you may have to create the exact same user(s) account on the xp box.

I don't have a problem at all on my domain. if your trying to do a "workgroup" type, firewalls will prevent one another from seeing each other. If you haven't shared anything then you aren't going to see anything in network places when you expand the workgroup.

your very light on the details of the problems your having. could be a zillion different things. get more specific.
