Thanks for taking a stab at this. It's maddening!
- Workgroup names match.
- They're running on XP.
- Simple file sharing is already off.
- No filters on TCP/IP settings.
- No firewall or Norton/McAfee. These are isolated test machines.

Have you checked workgroup names? They have to be identical before you
can operate as a workgroup. If ping resolves, then the hardware works.
Is there a firewall on 1 machine? (windows firewall). Also what about
Norton or Mcafee? I hate those programs with a passion when it comes to
firewalls.
Lastly, check TCP/IP settings for filters.
