Are you behind a router?
Can you ping the machine name of either?
Are you under the Default "WORKGROUP"? Or have you altered the "Workgroup" name?
If you can ping the machine, connect to it by using this command via the run line.
\\computername\c$
Do you get an error?

Can't see it in my network place?
Can you ping the XP machine from the 2000 and ping the 2000 from the XP machine?
Try disabling the XP firewall but I doubt it would be the problem. Still a good idea to disable it for awhile until this is solve.
What you can try to do is on all computers open up command prompt and type in this command nbtstat -R this should clear our any negative cache the computers might still be holding.

In order to access an adminstrative share, you need an administrative account on both computer. If you still have the buildin administrative account and not renamed it, you should be provided with a prompt to login as that account.
Edit* also need to be login as administrator.

Right click on "My Computer" select Map Network Drive. In the folder type in \\darren\c$ then select "Connect using a different user name" and put in darren and the password.

I was talking about from the 2000 machine to the XP.
Maybe the Darren account or the account you are logging on at the 2000 machine are not part of the adminsitrative group. Check Control Panel/Administrative tools/Computer Management.
Check Share/Share folder for listing of shares and hidden shares available on the computer
Check Local User and Group/Users, double click on the user to see it's propertie and group that it's in.
