You will get XP home working in this configuration. Without telling us what
you have tried though, its hard to say what you are doing wrong. You will
need to set the XP subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 and make its gateway
192.168.0.2. Setup IE by going to Tools->interet options, then goto
connections and click on "Lan Settings" then auto detect or something like
that.
You will also need to make sure that you have not got any firewall etc.
blocking the address.
