run the Network setup wizard and choose: my computer
connects to the internet directly
dont worry you will still be able to see your workgroups,
if not then you need to install NetBEUI on XP
To have a network with computers running WindowXP Home and
WindowsXP Pro you need the NetBEUI network protocall
installed on all the computers running WinXP, once
installed you will be able to see other computers on your
home or office network, you can then share files, upload
and download files, delete files on there computers on
your network.
NOTE: NetBEUI is a extreamly low securtiy protocal and is
a temparay solution for networking computers because it
has NO security AT ALL, and Microsoft does not support
NetBEUI anymore. If you decide to install NetBEUI I
recommend connecting them to a ROUTER with a firewall
enabled on the router.
Once the NetBEUI driver is installed you must restart your
computer, then open network connection properties and
use "Install..." button to add NetBEUI protocol. Restart
your computer again and your set. Download NetBEUI below.

This is a WinRAR self extracting file that i created that
will install the NetBEUI drivers correctly into your
C:\windows\ folder ( some winXP windows folders are
C:\WINNT\ ) make sure you point the install to your
Windows system folder, if you donot trust this .EXE file I
created to make things simple then you can just change the
extention from .exe to .rar and use WinRAR to install
these drivers into YOUR windows folder.
