What happens if you ping the other machines?
Are they all on the same Subnet, Gateway, etc?

try disabling the firewall just for the time being, it could be something to do with the way its set up?
try connecting to the other computers from the one thats suposidly not working (a bit of backward thinking)
it maybe that you get a popup asking to allow microsoft networks. apart from that. just check all windows settings to make sure they match or you could try making a xp network disk (found in the network setup wizard) that should sort all the settings out.

Try pinging the machines first though. If the ping doesn't work, then it is the connections between PCs most probably, or a dodgy network card that is configured incorrectly.
