Because you have something configured incorrectly on the XP machine.
I'll assume you've eliminated a firewall as a possibility (XP has a
built-in firewall if you didn't realize it, may need to configure or
disable it...) Give us a printout of ipconfig /all on the XP system,
plus the IP and netmask of your router.
