1.Accessing shared folder on XP Pro machine from XP Home machine

Hi, I'm having trouble getting from Home to shared folders on XP - I can't 
see the computer under the "view workgroup computers" but I can access it via 
typing in the IP address under Run.  My main issue is setting up security so 
that only certain users can, from across the network, get to certain shared 
folders.  I've setup the usernames and passwords, and limited the shared 
folders to those certain users, but when I try to access them remotely, I 
don't get a prompt to enter in a username and password, and I'm just denied 
access outright.  How can I cure this?

Many, many thanks for your help!

2.Cannot access share on W2k Pro

3.1 XP home machine can't access 1 XP Pro machine's shares / printer sometimes

I am really stumped by this one.  We have a small workgroup  - 3 XP
Home machines (C, D, E) and 2 XP Pro machines (A & B). The pro machines
are acting as servers for folders and printer shares.

Everything has been fine with all the machines.  Then we added a new XP
home machine (F).  F can access A's shares but for some reason, most of
the time, it can't access B's shares.  F can ping B fine.  B can access
shares I create on F.

C, B & F are on the same unmanaged switch with a single cat 5 cable
going form that switch to the router that is acting as DHCP server.  A
is plugged into the router.  I created shares on C which is another
home machine.  F can access C's shares no problem.

But again, there's something about B and / or F that keeps F from
reliably accessing B's shares.  After a reboot the connection to the
shares works OK for a couple/few minutes, then drops out for a few
minutes, comes back for a minute or 2 then drops off again.  AGAIN, I
CAN PING B FROM F ALL THE TIME AND F FROM B all the time. It's a
windows networking fluke.

I've tried turing off and turning on the windows firewall on either and
both machines
I've swapped ports on the switch
I've replaced the switch
I've connected the 2 machines with a crossover cable and get the same
symptons (they default to 169.x.x.x IP addresses for this.  They
usually get 192.168.1.0/24 IP addresses.
I;ve run winsockxpfix on both machines.
I've run LSPfix on both machines and there's no unuaul LSPs
I've changed machine names on both machines.
All machines show the same info (other than IP, but they are in the
same subnet) when I do ipconfig /all.  all machines are DHCP getting
their info from the linksys router


Again, B's shares can be accessed reliably from all the other machines.
 It's only F that has a problem connecting to B's shares only.  It can
connect to A and the other machines reliably.  Everyone (including F &
B) can ping everyone consistently.

Any ideas?

4.vista laptop cannot access network shared folder of xp pro desktop

I have an Acer Aspire 3680 laptop currently running Vista.  I have set up a 
home network between this and my desktop which is running Xp Pro.  
I can access all the shared folders on the vista laptop when im using the XP 
desktop, but when I try and access the desktop from the laptop it comes up 
with message - cannot access the computer //ANNE, check the spelling or your 
network connection.  And other times when viewing the network map it will not 
let me click on the XP computer at all.

Any ideas on how to access the XP computer would be helpful and thankyou in 
advance.
