Not yet but from previous experience I'm pretty sure the problem's in the
registry. If no-one can point me towards the relevant info I may just do a
clean reinstall of XP on the client. Seems a bit drastic, though.

Yes, I have.

Under advanced properties in my dial up connection (the bit to do with ics)
there is a button for settings. Despite sharing being enabled POP, STMP, and
HTTP servers weren't checked. They are now and all works fine!
