XP OSX - Computer to Computer Wireless Networking

Hello!

i am trying to set up a computer to computer wireless network.

I have managed to configure my XP PC for computer to computer wireless networking. Its shows up on my mac as a device in network connections.

I have managed to set-up WEP security and setup a passphrase and both machines are connected to each other.

I have manually set up different ips on each computer (192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.4 on the other)

they are both also on the same subnet mask 255.255.255.0
and i have also set them up to use the same DNS

now no matter what i do i cant get my mac connection to my PC's shared drives!

I have trying using "connect to server" then putting SMB://192.168.1.2 which when these two machines were connected via a router would connect it to a list of network shares on my XP machine and would let me select which one i wanted to open. Now it does nothing.. says cannot connect to server.

I have disabled the windows firewall on the wireless network adapter but still not joy boo

if any of you have any helpful info or useful incite into this problem please feel free to lend assistance
