Other than making sure you're not using the Shared Networking option
(NAT), it is no difference than with physical PCs.

Make sure they both have IPs, can ping etc other, etc. There's no
"magic" for VMs.

First thing to check, XP's firewall, This is the biggest issue with
non-connectivity.

Can you ping between the XP and VPC1? Are they both in the same
subnet?

On a command prompt in each of the virtual machines and on the host
machine do as follows:

ipconfig /all

Then capture the output and post it here (specify from which machine
each come).

This may give some additional information that can help helping you.

Looks all right to me.
THese two PC:s are on the same subnet and have different IP addresses
and MAC addresses so there should b no conflict.
Apart from the firewall in both PC:s I see no reason why ping between
then should not work from both ends.

I am running nearly the same config on a guest PC I use a lot, except
it is using VMWare WorkStation 6.5.3. But I have set the guest's NIC
to use the host's wireless and it works just fine....
