Look in the security log of the XP Home PC. If you find a failure audit (EventID 534), the XP Pro PC is trying to connect with a user other than Guest. XP Home only accepts Guest. If this is what is happening, maybe it's because you're not doing "simple file sharing" on the Pro PC, but I have not been able to discover the XP Pro policies. This problem sounds very much like my ongoing problem with 2 XP Home machines (XP Home network fails one direction; article 24587).
