First try the tutorials for manually setting up the network at http://www.homenethelp.com Make sure you do not set up internet connection sharing, and make sure you do not enable the Windows XP built-in firewall on the local area connection.
Thanks for the advice. The problem was due to the firewall being enabled on the LAN by default. All I had to do was disable it.
For other readers I found it like this:
Start My Network Places View Network Connections Right Click on: Local Area Connection Select Properties Click on the Advanced tab Uncheck the box labelled "Protect my computer and Network..." Click OK
