I've added the MAC address to my MAC filters changed the IP address, Subnet mask and default gateway along with the Physical address. I've checked and double checked the settings and still can't connect.
Got a tip for us?

How are you connecting? What wireless card are you using? What are the settings of that card? What mode is the router running in (mixed mode)?
There are a lot of factors that can cause a computer not to connect and we need as much information as we can get.
It's connecting fine from the Snow Leopard side I can't connect from the XP side and the setting are the same.
Does the network card in Windows even see the router? Is this bootcamp, vmware or a regular install?
OK, that means that the drivers are loaded and the card is working. What encryption are you using on the router?
WPA2 Personal and AES. I have another computer that is connected wireless and everything is the same except for the IP Address.
There used to be a separate enabler you had to download from Microsoft to use WPA2 on XP. Not sure if they ever incorporated that into the last Service Pack. Maybe the Bootcamp copy doesn't have it?
Yep, and it is possible that he is not patched up yet.
