I have a few q's
what type of AV do you have on each system?
and what make / model is your router, and how is it wired?
(i'm going to assume just one router) but still can be helpful.

Sorry, it's been a busy few days and I haven't had a lot of time to delve much deeper into it.
Both machines have AVG installed on them. Do you think that might be the problem? I dismissed it out of hand as I've always used AVG and never had any problems with it before. I'll definitely check it out though.
The router is a D-Link DGL-4300 and both systems are hooked directly into it with their own separate line. As for wiring it's just your standard run of the mill Cat 6E cable. I haven't changed the physical setup at all in the time since they were working.

A few more specs on the XP system might be of interest, especially if it's Pro or Home or Pro Corporate. I'm not sure of the exact differences, but I'm sure one of them had something to do with file sharing. Someone here might know more about that, and I'm hoping mentioning that might strike a chord.

It's XP Home with SP3 installed. I've had simple file sharing both on and off with no difference. I've reset shared files and used the shrpubw command to "reshare" the files and to set specific permissions with no difference.
I've got Hamachi running on both machines, but I haven't had time to set anything up, so I can't say how successful it was...
