Start the WXP machine in "Safe mode with networking" and see if you
can ping it and access it through Network Neighborhood.. If you can,
it's possible that a firewall program on WXP is blocking access in
normal mode, even when the firewall is disabled. ZoneAlarm and Norton
products have been known to do that.
