Ok then, Start-help and support, type Local security settings in the search bar-search, click "Edit Local security settings" in the 'pick a task' and click the open Local security settings.

Found this on another forum - hopefully performing it on the xp machine will clear the problem.

"It seems that an upgrade install assigns the user right "Deny access to this computer from the network" to the 'guest' user whereas the full virgin install does not.

The setting can be found by going Control Panel-> Administrative tools-> Local security settings -> Local Policies -> User Rights Assignments

or Start-> run "secpol.msc" .

removing it allowed normal browsing of shares in the workgroup"
