Problem: I can't understand how to get a W7-64 machine into an XP-32 network
Shades:
Hooray!
All stations on the network are communicating.

Glad you got it working.
Windows 7 should be able to connect just fine to an XP workgroup right out of the box. I did two of them last week with zero issues.
Main tripping points tend to be Simple File Sharing (unless everybody is Home edition, then you're stuck with it), Blank passwords (MS killed that action by default in XP SP2), Firewalls, and selection the wrong network type/location:
Public (locks it down like a nun's knees)

SpoilerThan we should be thankful for the "God-mode" in Win7...(as nun's are the brides from God)...

nudone:
Well done. Glad you sorted it. Now you just need to repeat the entire process to try and figure out what happened.
cranioscopical:
Thanks a lot everyone!
I very much appreciate all of you taking the time to pitch in on my problem... even Nudone
