Just a stab in the dark, but try:

In Windows Explorer or Control Panel,
click Tools in the Menu bar,
click Folder Options,
click View tab,
in Advanced Settings list, find and check mark
"Automatically search for network folders and printers"

Watch for help from others.

Go to Microsoft and do a search on sahring files and folders on a XP machine.

First both machines must be in the same group. Next the sharing machine must share it's c drive and then the sub folder.

Just a few things, but goto Microsoft Knowledgebase for exact detailed info on how to share between machines.

Try to put the same address in the windows explorer address that is in the internet explorer address, see if it will see it then.
Another stab in the dark, did you disable any services in the services.msc?
