"Doctor, it hurts. What should I do?"; well, that is the kind of question
which you just asked. Give us the exact error that you see. Or tell us what
steps you followed, and what happened, or didn't happen.

Run the Windows XP Network Setup Wizard on both computers, and tell it
that they connect to the Internet through a residential gateway
(router). It will make all the right settings:
