Windows XP unable to see windows 2k pro

I have a small peer to peer network it consists of 3 winxp, and 3 win 2k pro
machines. one of these winxp machines is a laptop with a wireless card. It
is able to see both of the other win xp machines and 2 of the win 2k
machines, however it is unable to browse the 3rd. the win2k machine is also
unable to see the win xp machine. I have verified workgroup. Any other
suggestions?

can this xp ping others by IP? if yes, ping the host name.

It can ping by both name and IP address.

then what do you receive if using net view \\remotepcname? if it is error
53, check the sharing; if it is error 5, check the permission.
