Had this problem two days ago and it took me forever to
figure it out
go to start then control panel then administrative tools
then under admiistrative tools go to services and make
sure that workstations is set for automatic if not double
click on it and change to automatic. Also make sure your
xp computer is set for file and printer sharing under the
network connection. This problem drove me up the wall
until I started checking admin tools and changed the
workstation to auto.
