Default (Workgroup) is not accessable message!

I have four machines in a home network with a Netgear router. One machine
runs win 98, two run XPH, one XPP. All four can access the internet through
the router. The windows 98 machine can share files with the Basement machine
(XPH), THe office machine (XPH) can see share files with the Win98 machine.
The office cannot see or share files with the basement machine. I hav edone
the networking wizard disc). The XPP machine can see all the machines but
cannot access them. It gets the (workgorup name) is not acessable message.

I have tried everything to get these machinces to recognize and share file,
can anyone giv eme some more suggestions to try?

On the XP machines, click Start, click Run, type REGEDIT (hit enter)

Go to the following reg key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\LSA

Look for "RestrictAnonymous" and ensure it is set to 0.

Reboot for changes to take affect
