This is an annoying problem that comes and goes for me and I found it might be due
to something called the Master Browser. I would do this first before messing around
with installing the various protocols. If stopping the Master Browser on the XP machine
works, you should see your problem fixed almost immediately.

In a small mixed OS workgroup network, you may want to disable W2K/XP master browser
and keep w9x or NT master browser because XP/W2K always win elections over others,
and other previous OS doesn't understand it. To disable master browser on W2K/XP,
go to Administrative Tools>Services, stop the Computer Browser.
