How are your two computers connected, with a cable or wireless? Have
you checked/compared their respective IP addresses? The first 3 octets
will probably be the same, and the last octet will NOT be the same.
Check the Netmask, making sure the two computers use the same one,
most likely 255.255.255.0. Check XP's firewall settings. Open a
Command Prompt window on each computer and try to ping the other
computer. Those are just a few things you can try. Good luck.
