    Have you tried disabling the XP firewall for this unit? That usually causes this type of problem.

    1. Right click My Network Places -> Properties
    2. Right click your Wireless Connection -> Properties
    3. Advanced Tab -> Disable Firewall

    Actually, you should disable the Bridge option. This is to allow you to connect "bridge" 2 networks together so you can transfer data between them (I believe). This is not what you should be using.
