If the W2k work and the XP are in the same location in
Active Directory (and hence subject to the same GPOs)
then check that the Tcp/Ip settings for DNS on the XP
client is identical to that on the working W2k.
The SRV records must be located via DNS for many
Active Directory features to work.
RSoP is Resultant Set Of Policy - there is a snap-in
by this name that you can load into an mmc console.
It will tell you what policies are being seen and applied.
These are all rather sizable topics, about which the MS
website has How-To guides you can probably turn up
with a little bit of search.
