Additionally, maybe check to see if the XP firewall is turned on on the
computer you can't connect to, and perhaps try disabling it temporarily if
it is? And make sure the account isn't getting locked out on the computer
you can't connect to.

There's also an XP security newsgroup here where you might get more answers
if you post there.
