We have been using a windows NT based server since day
one in our small office with 9 networked machines. The
default (and only) protocol loaded on the server is
netbeui. We have recently added three windows xp based
machines to the network, and now only the first machine
added can access the network share. The two other xp
based machines can see various other computers on the
network, but not the server itself. Any ideas - I'm not
real good when it comes to networking but any help is
appreciated.

Since the network uses NetBEUI:

1. Install NetBEUI on Windows XP, as shown here:

2. Un-bind File and Printer Sharing from TCP/IP, as shown here:
