Question : Cannot "see" other machines on home LAN

When I try to see the other computers on my LAN
from XP Pro I get a the following dialog box:
Title: Microsoft Windows network
after the red dot with a white "X":
      WorkgroupName is not accessible.  You might not have
      permissions to use this network resource.
      Contact the administrator pf this server to find if you
      have access permissions.
      
      No more connections can be made to the remote computer at this time
      because there are already as many connections as the computer can
      accept.
      
Where "WorkgroupName" is the name of my home workgroup.

I can produce this dialog box by going to:
      "My Network Places"
      "Entire Network"
      "Microsoft Windows Network"      
      my work group name
      
      I am an administrator on the machine and have all privileges.

How can I again see the other machines and sgares in my home LAN's workgroup?
