Andy,
Working with Windows Networking is sometimes a frustrating task. What you're
seeing here, according to your report, is an "error = 53". There are several
known causes of this error, and I apologise if I enumerate several that you have
already considered, and dismissed.
# Corrupted LSP / Winsock.
# Firewall problem.
# Registry settings.
# Invalid node type.
# Excessive protocols.
Now, when you refer to "countless hours checking to have the TCP/IP, file and
printer sharing, and client for microsoft networks", I'm going to hope that you
mean you thoroughly checked everything discussed in this article:
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html#Components>
And I hope that the Guest account (for XP Home, that's all you need) is properly
activated on both computers.

Because I promise you, if there's something that isn't right, that's described
in one of the above articles, you'll have trouble some time. So I'll offer you
both articles from the beginning, for your education:
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html>
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/file-sharing-under-windows-xp.html>
Next, please read this article (from which came the above list), and follow any
links that seem relevant. Keep an open mind; some links may contain information
that you haven't considered.

If that's of no help, let's take the "ipconfig /all" output, and analyse your
problem. Take the following code (everything inside the "#####"). (Please
verify computer names and ip addresses).
1. Open Notepad. Ensure that Format - Word Wrap is not checked. Highlight
then Copy the code (Ctrl-C), precisely as it is presented, and Paste (Ctrl-V)
into Notepad. Verify, and correct, names and addresses if necessary.
2. Save the Notepad file as "cdiag.cmd", as type "All Files", into the root
folder "C:\".
3. Run it by Start - Run - "c:\cdiag".
4. Wait patiently.
5. When Notepad opens up displaying c:\cdiag.txt, first check Format and
ensure that Word Wrap is NOT checked! Then, copy the entire contents (Ctrl-A
Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) into your next post.
Do this from all computers, please, with all computers powered up and online.
