did you install the clientserver software on the server? if so - is it
properly licensed?

Are you using the XP machine as the server? If so, you can use the
clientserver installation. If I am not mistaken, the clientserver
software needs to be loaded on a Windows Server machine. If you are
using windows XP and Vista machines, you can set it up as a peer to
peer and it will work fine as long as you only have a couple of
machines. After that, it starts getting slow. The clientserver
software helps retrieve data faster when you have multiple users.
