you do not want ipx/spx, that is for netware and you if you install netbeui, for the xp machine it is not on the network aplet, you have to get it off of the xp cd...and also netbeui is not routable...and you probably will not need either if you are using DHCP on the router.
on the new xp machine you wan to make sure that your windows xp firewall is turned off and that any other firewalls are off also, on both machines.
you also want to make sure you belong to the same work group and you also have to have a folder shared on both PC's. What is the OS of the other pc ?
