Block a local IP address from XP Firewall

Is it possible, on a computer running Windows XP SP2, to block all incoming traffic coming from an IP address on my local network,  using Windows XP SP2 Firewall ? I can't see any options relating to blocking IP addresses in XP's firewall, only ports and programs.
Or could I use something else, like Restricted Zones defined in IE, or any other builtin Windows tool ?

Thanks.

I want to block ALL traffic coming from ONE specific IP address, not only Ping (icmp)
This link seems to relate only to blocking icmp traffic. I will read through it in case I'm missing something...

Thanks

Thanks for the info. I'll then probably go with a software firewall solution as suggested. I was initially thinking about using Sygate personal firewall or Kerio.

 
Both good choices from what I hear.
GL!
