My XP home PC does not show up on the network. I can ping each computer from
the other. IPconfig shows Netbois over tcip is disabled on the xp home pc, I
assume this is the problem, how do I enable this?

I have a home network with a router and only one IP address. Both PC have
different IP address. one is xxx.xxx.0.11 the other is xxx.xxx.0.12
the XP home says DHCP is disabled as well as netbios disabled when doing
ipconfig /all

To enable NetBIOS Over TCP/IP on Windows XP and Windows 2000:

1. Open the Network Connections folder.
2. Right click the local area network connection.
3. Click Properties.
4. Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
5. Click Properties.
6. Click Advanced.
7. Click WINS.
8. Click the Enable NetBIOS Over TCP/IP button.

did that and ran network wizzard and rebooted: now dhcp says enabled but net
bios says enabled in windows (as you mentioned), but ipconfig still shows net
bios disabled. I have integrated card so cant remove it and reload drivers.
