Hmm... that all looks good to me; I'd think you should at least be able to ping at this point.

Just to really eliminate this possibility- turn off XP's firewall entirely. After disabling the firewall it might be a good idea to reboot just to make sure that all components of the firewall have been shutdown. If you're worried about leaving yourself vulnerable, just physically disconnect the XP machine from your DSL modem during the test.

Gosh how I love windows. Turned XP's firewall off and bingo, the two start talking. So I turned the firewall back on again, and they're still quite happy to carry on speaking to each other. But now my main problem is solved, so I can ftp to my hearts content, and also figure out for myself (at least at first) how to enable the internet connection sharing via XP's all too contrary firewall. Thanks for all the help!
Davis.

I know what you mean. I've had more weird, flaky experiences with that @#$*% firewall than I care to think about....

Glad you at least got it happening, though.
