There are 5 machines behind a workgroup, 2 WinXP Pro, 1 WinXP home, 1 WinME, and 1 Win2k Pro. I'm using XP Pro and I create a new workgroup. In order to access them I have to add "Authenticated Users" in my My Computer -> Manage -> Local Users and Groups -> Group -> Guests.

Now all machines can see and access my share folders. However the WinXP Home machine doesn't work. I try to put him into the same workgroup (setting in his machine) but he can only see himself, no one else. I can see him on my machine but can't access it. I received error message "XXX is not accessible. You might have no permission to use this network resources..... etc" when trying to connect to his computer. Beside, there is no "Local Users and Groups" in his "My Computer -> Manage" section.

Please help.
