Windows XP Network >> windows xp p2p networking problem. Can anyone help???

I had a winxp pro desktop and a win2000 laptop machine
that network fine together. I could see the network, use
all the shares on both machines etc.

I have just bought a new laptop which also runs winxp
pro. I can get it to see the workgroup, sometimes even
see the 2 machine names in 'entire network' (this depends
upon which machine is turned on first). However, I cannot
see or use any shares from either machine.

Can anybody point me to a solution. I have netbios turned
on as directed by kb article 318030. Hasn't helped.

My setup is as follows :

* Desktop running winxp pro (fully up to date using win
update). IP address dynamically assigned

* Laptop running win xp pro sp1. IP address dynamically
assigned

* router acting as DHCP server

Help if you can. I have tried everything I can think of.
