First try logon to router from the XP to see if your computer and the router
are on the same network then config your router.

The TCP/IP stack has become corrupted.

If the computer has XP Service Pack 2, run this command to fix it:

netsh winsock reset catalog

If the computer has original XP or Service Pack 1, follow these steps,
taken from Microsoft Knowledge Base article 811259:

1. Backup and delete the following registry keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock2

2. Reboot

3. Open the network connections folder, right click your network
connection, and click Properties.

4. Click Install | Protocol | Add.

5. Click "Have Disk...", type "\windows\inf" in the box, and click
OK.

6. Click "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)", then click OK.

7. Reboot.
