You probaly already checked this but is file and printer sharing enabled on the XP computer.

Are your shares open to everyone? share to everyone to verify the share is working, restrict later if you want.

Open your directory up to everyone also.


You could have a DNS problem. Setup the host file on both the server and the client.
IP clientname
IP servername
Location, if you don't know.
C:\windows\system32\etc\host

when there is network connection we can ping but to share some resources and all you have to gain the access to use or share the resourses
