All your computers have to be on the same workgroup (i.e. "HOME", "WORKGROUP"). Also, turn off your firewall that is built-in WinXP. That should solve all your problems.

Alternatively, you can check if you can "see" computers around you by going Run->Command Prompt and typing the following command:

net view

There are a lot of things that can stop networking. That's why there is a Network Setup Wizard in Windows XP (Home and Pro).

Go to My Network Places and click the "Set up a home or small office network". This will set the Group Policy, open the proper ports on the firewall, etc. Run the wizard on each machine in the network.
