Hi Doug, So we know that the network cards work fine, as we can ping 127.0.0.1. This tells us that the drivers are also working. Are you sure you are using a cross over cable if the computers are directly connected, or two through cables if you are using a switch or hub between them? Can you ping the other computer as well? so you ping the Me machine from the XP one, and vice versa. Is your firewall set up to allow the use of a home network, or does it block all traffic as well? On the XP machine, have you enabled the guest account? Are both machines in the same work group? Do they have different names?
