Computers on home network cannot map drives

Hello,

I am using a WRT54G2 Wireless-G Broadband Router. I have several computers on my home network. They can get out to the Internet ok, they can ping each other, but I cannot map drives between them.

They are setup to use DHCP. One is running XP Pro, the others XP home. Using ipconfig I see IP addresses 192.168.1.101, .102, & .103. I can ping between the machines. But I cannot map a drive. I am trying to map a drive using the \\192.168.1.101\c$ method.

Thank You,
Sammer

Configuration: Windows XP
Firefox 3.0.8
