I tried router settings. I turned off the XP firewall in "bigguy". I
disconnected the router and tried a hub with direct connections between the
PCs with no Internet at all. I tried two other PCs. I found some bogus
settings in the IIS setup and fixed them (now using
IUSR_MACHINENAME\SIENNA1" which is part of the Guests users. All appears
normal, but still no luck.

I think it might be a config problem in the XPe setup. I see "Connected,
Firewalled" in the network settings, but it won't let me turn it off.
