Make sure your network service is started on the XP box. ( Start > Run
> CMD > net start ) Also, it may be that you need to be running Pro
instead of Home. I've only ever worked with Pro so you may need to
research the shortcomings of Home online. If you're using domains on
either box make sure the other box is doing the same.

Hope this gets you going!

Cheers.
