When I bring up Network Places on the 2k machine, I click Entire Network and
I can see the workgroup and node for the WinXP machine.

However, on the WinXP machine it seems I can only see the workgroup it is in
and there is no Entire Network link.
 
what do you receive if you use net view command on XP?

It says

\\LOCALCOMPUTERNAME
The command completed successfully.
