Default Workgroup file sharing

I have a workgroup that I can see all of the computers
that are connected to the workgroup, can browse 3 of
them, but cannot browse 2 of them. I can ping all of the
machines in the workgroup. Internet connection sharing is
working fine.
Network configuration is:
Sys1: XP Pro Desktop, wired, can see all, can browse
Sys2, Sys3
Sys2: XP Pro Desktop, wired, can see all, can browse
Sys1, Sys3
Sys3: XP Home Laptop, wired, can see all, can browse
Sys1, Sys2
Sys4: XP Pro Desktop, wired, workgroup not accessable
Sys5: XP Pro Desktop, wireless, can see all computers,
but cannot browse.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hank,

Ensure NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled. Details here.
