Just set it up manually. Give the computer a name and put you network
name in the Workgroup name box. Go to the properties of the card add Client
for Microsoft Networks, TCP/IP, File and Printer Sharing. Double click on
TCP/IP. Select Obtain an IP address automatically. On the WINS tab select
Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP. Reboot and it should connect.

You'll have to disable the Computer Browser service on the
NT box too. Otherwise NT and XP will argue over who keeps
the list of workgroup members. XP is only happy being the
boss.
