I had this problem when trying to see a Windows XP machine from a Windows 2000 machine. This in itself was an advance achieved after installing NetBIOS on the XP machine - before I just got a more general "is not accessible" message. The solution was to restore Simple File Sharing, which I'd previously removed as part of my fiddling. When I did that, I immediately got access to the shares on the XP machine. Yippee! I've had this problem for months.
