In the Networks Control Panel, add "File and Printer sharing". Provided both PCs are in the same "WORKGROUP" they will see each other.

You can then click on a directory in WINDOWS EXPLORER and SHARE out the directory, giving a name for the directory.

You may need permissions set on the folder and contents to "EVERYONE".

PS: XP Service Pack 2's Firewall might block the other PC as well, so make sure either it's off or set up to allow connecting.
