cannot get xp machine on home local network

[Gene A]

When i try to set up a home network for 4 machines i
cannot get one of my windows xp machines.A search for
that computer finds it. Try to connect and i get message
computer not accessible. You might not have permission to
use this network resource. since i set up the
permissions - my other computers should have permission-
in fact i can get to shared files on the other computers.

When i try to set up a home network on the xp computer it
goes smoothly until i get an error message Spooler sub
system app has encountered a problem and needs to close.
when i close the error message the setup continues- the
system has 2 laptops set up using a wireless connection-2
lan connections to a linksys roter which is into a
motorola broadband modem-any suggestions out there?

I am starting to wonder how many of us suddenly have
network issues who are using linksys routers, XP and
motorola surboard modems? No internet connection issues
but we can't see one or more machine on our intranets.
