on your hp workstation, if the default route does not exists or points to a different ip, you need to make sure it routes thru not the router but the WinXP box, i.e., on the hp wkstn, when you run
netstat -rn
you should see a line like this:
default 192.168.0.1 UG 0 lan1 0
(lan1 may be lan0 or lanX for you, it does not really matter)
if it is not that way, then
1) if you do not see a line with a default route at the output, you need to execute this:
route add default 192.168.0.1 1
2) if you see a default route pointing to, lets say 192.168.0.2, then you need to do the following:
route delete default 192.168.0.2
route add default 192.168.0.1 1
after this is done, make sure you have the default route pointing to the WinXP wkstn.
