Do you have a software firewall other then the one that Windows XP comes
with?

If your question is worth asking, it's worth posting.

If it’s not worth posting you should have done a search on
http://www.google.com/ http://www.google.com/grphp?hl=en&tab=wg&q= or

My problem concerning getting my desktop to be seen by the two laptops, all
using xp, was that the desktop had a Mcafee privacy setting that blocked any
sharing from that computer. Once I reset that I could see the desktop, and
also the desktop could see the laptops. I believe about the time this
problem started, about two weeks ago I updated the software and registered
it.

Norton Internet Security. I'll take a look at it's
configuration.
