I've had the same problem exact problem that your describing except it was with two Windows XP Pro computers not being able browse the shares. The two computers were in the same workgroup, and had different Administrator Passwords.
Here are a couple of things I did, that seem to work.
1. The first one is the most obvious, but disable windows ICF (Start-->Control Panel-->Under Manage security Settings-->click on Windows Firewall-->then select Off.)
2. Make sure Simple File Sharing is Enabled. Open My Computer-->Tools-->Folder Options-->View.
3. When creating a share make sure to check share this folder on the network instead of make it private.
If neither of those things work:
4. Re-do or re setup your network. Use the Network Setup Wizard. Near the end of the wizard it will ask you if want to create network setup disks, or use the XP Cd, I usually skip this, but when I had this problem I decided to use the XP CD on each machine.
When it's done, you'll notice a new icon which is totally useless, in the Network connection Window, called Bridge. What you need to do is disable the bridge first, you can find that option by highlighting bridge, then on the left selecting to disable it. Then delete it. Do this same thing on all your computers, and it should work...hopefully
