    Greetings Bill,

    Make sure the XP's firewall is disabled on local area networks. It is
    intended for direct connections to the Internet. If you installed a third
    pary firewall such as Norton Firewall, ZoneAlarm, or Sygate make sure it
    isn't blocking access between the machines. Ensure NetBIOS over TCP/IP on
    all machines.

    Enable NetBIOS Over TCP/IP (NetBT)

    Please post back and let us know how it works.
