You should run ipconfig /all separately on the XP computer.

There is no domain in a peer to peer lan, just a workgroup which should be
the same on all computers. Browsing is integral provided there is actual
communication between the computers and one or the other will become the
master browser... it doesn't really matter which. First you have to fix the
TCP/IP configuration so that gateway, DHCP and DNS servers are all the same
address. Devices on different subnets should not be able to communicate with
each other.. i.e. 192.168.1.x doesn't talk to 192.168.0.x. Either set the
router's IP to be 192.168.1.1 or change your TCP/IP settings in the
computers to match what it really is (DHCP and DNS). Check that DNS relay is
enabled in the router. Neither computer can have the same IP as the router.
If ICS happens to be activated on either computer turn it off.
Third party software firewalls can block LAN communications. If you're using
any it may help to disable or uninstall the firewall before configuring your
LAN. Once the LAN is working properly you can reinstall the firewall and
debug any networking problems it creates.
