Actually, networking xp is extremelyt easy. I've dont it several times without a hitch. What you are experiencing sounds like a file system problem. Win Me/NT/Xp (i think those are the right ones) run (usually) NTFS, while older systems will run FAT32 or even FAT16 file systems. NTFS can read FAT32, but FAT32 can't read NTFS. That would explain why your xp system can't be read by others, but it can read them.
But anyway, Gekko knows what he's talking about. Very nice explaination.
