Several silly questions first:
1. does the XP box have a gateway (the correct one)?
2. does the XP box have more than one interface configured?
a. if yes, does _only_ the one connected to your subnet have a gateway
address
(Windoze does something really stupid -- if you have the gateway address
on two interfaces and the wrong interface is first in the routing table,
then the XP box will attempt to send packets out the wrong interface
even though the gateway isn't on its subnet -- dumb, violation of RFCs,
etc, but true)
b. if no, are you running "security" (such as it is w/ M$) on the
interface?
If none of the above, you might try the Windoze lusers list. ;-)
