WinXP Home - workgroup problem

Hi, we have 2 win 2k3 server DCs in our company, and some XP Pro Machines and
other Xp Home machines. There is a Domain called ABC. So all machines and
servers have some shared folders and printers and stuff..

For the XP Home machines to access shared resources, I put them all into a
Workgroup called ABC exactly as the domain name. The problem is that in 2 of
the XP Home computers, I'm unable to see the machines in the workgroup. If I
type the IP adress of the server I'm able to access with the username and
pass created under Active Directory, but when I browse the Workgroup, there
is no machine visible, it's all empty. Other machines just don't have this
problem, I browse the workgroup, and I can see all the Xp Pro, XP Home
machines and Servers .

Any clues of what can be the problem in those 2 machine?

Thanks..
 
Thanks for ur answer. File sharing was enabled in al machines.
Anyway I fixed the issue by changing the computer name of one of the
machines, I think they both had the same name and that caused the problem, in
case it happens to someone and reads this.. :)
