as a member of the same workgroup as XP. Here's a program that lets
you define and store multiple network configurations and switch
between them easily:

Use the same protocol for file sharing on both computers. If the
network has more than one protocol, un-bind sharing from all but one
of them. Make sure that NetBIOS is enabled on the selected protocol.
Set up the same user accounts, with the same passwords, on the two
computers.
Disable XP's Internet Connection Firewall on the local area network
connection.
If a computer doesn't appear in My Network Places, try searching for
it by right-clicking My Network Places.
