Unable to access Notebook from desktops(Vista and XP)

I have a LAN at home with three PC's. There are two desktops and
laptop. For purposes of the problem lets name them System1 (XP Pro)
System 2 is Vista Business and System 3 is a notebook with XP Home

System 1 can see and access the drives on System 2 and System 2 ca
see access the drives on System 1. System 3, since it is XP Home
requires me to login to go to the other systems. However, once logge
in can see and access the drives on Systems 1 and 2

The problem is that neither System 1 or System 2 can access the drive
on System 3

When I try to access system 3 from system 2 I get the followin
message: Network error
Windows can not access System -3
Error code 0x8007003
The network path was not found
Check spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be
problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve networ
problems, click Diagnose

When I try to go to System 3 from System 1 I get a Connect to System
screen where the User Name shows as System-3 Guest and then it ask
for a pass word. When I put in the pass word that I use on th
network Windows rejects the pass word. I never saw this screen til
now and do not know how to get rid of this problem. Th
System-3\Guest is grayed out so I can not edit it

Hopefully, someone can help me with this problem
