Try what Lauren replied first. If it still doesn't work
try this.
1. Try to ping the IP address of the other computer. If
you don't get a response then look for a firewall running
that is preventing communication. Especially make sure
Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall is not running on
your internal network connection.
2. If ping comes back from the ok then make sure
you are logging on with a user name and password that
exists on the XP machine.
