Small P2P network. 1 Win98 laptop, 1 XP (Home)laptop, 1 XP(Home) desktop. Both laptops "see" each other...internet access via Netgear cable router (w/ 4 port switch) works on all 3 machines....Neither of the laptops can access the XP desktop! "Guest" account IS enabled; "Sharing" IS enabled; XP Desktop CAN access both laptops! What am I missing?!??!?! Thanks!!

Turn off the firewall that is installed by default on the XP machines.

3. check restricted zone or disable zone / firewall / internet security.
4. restart the computer
5. if does not work.. disable firewall / internet security / zone in other computers also.
