Have you installed Service Pack 2? If yes, that's the problem. Windows XP Service Pack 2 activates a firewall, and also use to disconnect the computer from the network when it decides that would be good to do so, so you need to de-activate and then re-activate the network connection from Control panel in order to make it work again.
Even if SP2 is not installed, check if this could be the problem...

Do you have all firewalls turned off?

You could try mod_log_forensic, which logs the request much earlier in the process, to see if apache ever sees the request.
