What IP are you getting when you do IPconfig at the DOS prompt?
The TCP/IP maybe locked and the IP assigned will not allow access to the
Internet for wired or wireless. The TCP/IP stack may need to be reset on
XP. You can search Google on *How to reset the TCP/IP Stack on XP*, if
it's locked.

You may want to delete the Netbeui protocol and just go with MS Client,
MS File and Print Sharing and TCP/IP on all machines.
