Hmm, I suspect a netbios name resolution problem.
(NetBIOS broadcast it the only name resolution method you are using.)
0 ) Remove all the spurious protocols you installed.
They just complicate the issue.
Leave only TCP/IP on all machines.
1) On each machine, attempt to ping the other by both IP address and name.
eg:
ping 192.168.0.1
ping otherpc
Report back what works and what doesn't.
If ping-by-IP-address works, but pinging the name fails,
2) report the exact error message.
3) Re-check NetBIOS-over-TCP/IP is enabled on all machines.
4) Ensure the XP firewall is disabled on the LAN connection on all machines.
5) Go to a command prompt and do an 'ipconfig /all' on each machine,
and report the 'Node Type' on each machine.
