hmmmmm.
Your problem is that you are using XP.
It actually sounds like the DHCP server is flaky go figure. Make sure the network names are the same and the AP has the correct permissions. If you want to be able to share files the "file and printer sharing" must be turned on.
You have to let the network boot up innitailly one computer fully at a time to establish the right IP's. Don't use ICS with windows it blows. Make sure all of the network stack is installed.
