XP Home and XP Pro

[Michelle2]

I have two XP Pro machines and 1 XP Home machine networked through a Linksys router.

The two XP Pro machines can see each other, ping, rumage through the file systems etc, however, the XP Home machine can ping and access the Pro drives but the favour isnt returned. Although XP pro's can ping the Home machine, they are unable to access the C: etc.

This is the same with the firewalls switched off. Also the same with the hard drive shared. Ive tried rejoining the workgroup aswell.

Any thoughts?

Thank you

Will let you know how I get on

make the home machine use the same log on and password of one of the other pro's
add another user to system with admin rights
this user will have same name and password as one of the other machines.
also add same user to network group
