i don't have too much experience with xp home, but with xp pro, you can go to control panel/network connections, right click, go to properties, and view the protocols you have installed. with a similar networking problem i installed the nwlink ipx/spx/netbios compatible transport protocol, and then ran the filesharing/networking wizard. with the xp firewall disabled, i didn't have any more problems. this is a security vulnerability in any version of xp, just to warn you. hope this helps
