Unable to access newly created and shared folder in windows xp pro

[fa740]

I created a shared folder on a windows xp professional computer that is part
of a domain on a windows 2003 small business server. I am unable to access
this folder from a windows xp home edition computer that is connected to the
network even though I can access most other shared folders. Any assistance
will be appreciated.

If the Pro machine does not explicitly add the home users account to the
folder permissions, the only folders the Pro will share are in the "My
Documents" area. (Simple file sharing)
