I seem to have fixed it. The default gateways on both the server and client
side were set the same. I origionaly only changed the ip range of the
client and server...based on another post I had read (i.e. 192.168.0.2-10 for
the server and client was 192.168.0.50-60). Once I changed the default
gateway of my router at home here to 192.168.2.1, I was in.
For whatever reason, vista didnt seem to mind either way, but it made all
the difference for my xp home client.

Problem solved!
