APIPA provides for a dynamic ip address to be self-assigned to a
computer, when it specifies DHCP but there is no DHCP server
available. Your ISP, or your router, provides an ip address
dynamically when it is asked for one.
Obviously there is a DHCP server somewhere, assigning DHCP to XP Pro
and to 2K. "192.168.X.X" sounds like your DHCP server - that's a
private address range.
And obviously you either have a firewall running on XP Home, or it has
a network problem. Or what ever device is providing DHCP services to
the others has a problem. Maybe McAfee is still a problem - that
wouldn't be the first!

Wayne,
So we need to start over. Please describe your LAN in detail - what
computers are connected, with their names, and operating system name
and version. And how does each connect to your ISP. Try to match
each with its current ip address.
Then we need to figure out what software firewalls you have.
HijackThis will provide a nice list of all process running on a
computer - including any firewalls or maybe something else like
spyware. It's free from
<http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=3155>. Open HJT, Scan,
then Save log produces a nice text file listing everything running on
the computer.
Ipconfig data would help a lot too. "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt"
provides a nice text based file that you can paste into your next post
too.
Whatever you're comfortable with.
Cheers,
Chuck
