My XP machine has a really hard time seeing any other computer that isn't
also an XP machine. What I have found to work best is do a search (start >
search > computers and people) and type in the other computers name. XP
will never find the computer first time, but after 4 or 5 search attemps the
machine will usually pop up. No idea why it works, but it does.
