Hi,
Don know what a XO cable is but itīs fair to advise you to check client for
microsoft option enabled on both computers.
Check the firewall configs, other than the XP one.
Still manny other stuff to check wich i cant remember at this time but good
luck anyway.
Keep posting if you cant solve this.
Farewell,
PrestovaT
