If the Linksys router is between the cable modem and the XP machine, it has
absolutely nothing to do with XP, and is more a coincidence that the Me
machine works ok. What makes you think the cable modem is the problem if
the Me machine works without a problem at all.
Try updating the drivers for the XP machine network card, check the network
cable or better yet, swap it with a new one to rule out a damaged cable.
Make sure the network card in the XP machine is configured according to your
ISP's instructions as well.
