Can't connect XP pc to Win 7

I have 5 PC's connected by LAN at my workplace 4 have Win 7 Pro 64 the other has XP Pro. All has worked perfectly for months however I've had to upgrade the "Master" so have re-installed everything and give the new PC the same identity as the old one. Without any issues all the Win 7 machines talk to each other but the XP machine wont. I can see the XP machine on the network from all the Win 7 machines and can see all the Win 7 machines on the XP one but when I try to access from either direction I get a "Windows cannot access" message and troubleshooter can't resolve it. I can't understand why it used to be ok but not anymore. To save me from pulling out what hair I have left, any ideas?

Just to add network name "Workgroup" is the same on all and location is "Work"

Bob.
