Network access problem

I have a home network set up on four computers; three desktops and one laptop.

My PC: XP Pro (connected to router via ethernet)
HTPC: XP Pro (connected to router via ethernet)
Wife's PC: XP Home (connected wirelessly)
My Laptop: XP MCE 2005 (connected wirelessly)

I set up the Network using the Network Setup Wizard. All four computers can see each other under My Network Places, but only My PC and My Laptop can access files from the rest of the PCs.

My Wife's PC and the HTPC cannot access other PC files. Whenver they try to they get this error message:

"You might not have permission to use this network resrouce. Contact the administrator of this sever to find out if you have access permission.

"Not enough server storage available to process this command."

I have gone on each computer and enabled sharing on every folder I want on the network. For example, I go under "My Documents" and its "Sharing" tab and check both "Share this folder on the network" and "Allow network users to change my files" Yet these two PCs cannot access those folders.

How can I enable the shared folders to be accessed on all four PCs?
 
I had a problem similar to this. I ended up maping a network drive and entering the location of the folder on the system I wanted. Once i logged in initially by double clicking the network drive, then i had no more problems with not enough server storage or stuff like that.

Can you walk me through how you did that?
