Cannot access Workgroup !!!

I recently set up a home network with 3 computers, two of which are XP/SP2
and the last one on W2KPro. My 2 XP machines see each other and the W2KPro,
however, when I open up Network Neighborhood on my W2KPro machine, I can get
to Workgroup, but when I double-click on Workgroup, I get the error "
Workgroup is not accessible. The account is not authorized to log in from
this account."

Please help explain why I can't access the Workgroup. I may need to reset
permissions or get back to the default settings for security policies. I did
mess with those months ago, but did not have the network up and running then.
One note, all 3 computers can access the Internet, via a 5-port hub
connected to my DSL modem. All 3 have TCP/IP enabled as the only protocol
and all have Microsoft Windows Network and File and Printer share enabled, in
addition to having NETBios over TCP/IP enabled.
