Problem with Vista sharing network Name not found

I am operating a network with two Vista PC's. One stationary and one
portable. In addition an old XP PC is included.
The network has been working before, but now a strange condition exists.
My portable is operating perfectly well and can see the stationary Vista as
well as the XP.
My stationary PC does not show in the Network Window but can be seen as part
of the map of the network.
Access to the stationary is denied and testing on the stationary: Start
\\MD8833 (Name of the stationary) gives the message No access to \\MD8833
and diagnosing indicates no problem with the network.

The two Vista machines have exactly the same configuration and the same
Bullguard firewall with identical set up

I would greatly appreciate any help towards re finding MD8833, if that is
the solution

Try to use net view ip address, for example net view \\192.168.1.2 which
192.168.1.2 is md8833 IP address. Do you receive any system error?

1. Make sure NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled.
2. Make sure you have assign permissions in the Security tab.
3. if above don't fix the problem, try to use Icacls.exe utility to check
the permission.

I gave up and reinstalled the PC from a Ghost Back Up from august 2008.
That solved he problem, may be not elegant, but anyway OK
Thank you for your effort
