Troubleshooting • Win XP machine not seeing Rpi

$

New user of Raspberry Pi, of course. Pretty adept with Windows machines.

I have a SFF terminal embedded XP machine that I use as a kiosk that shows a simple html page for information. The folks using it only have access to the screen and a mouse and it nor any of the machines on that network ever face the internet. All machines are on a stand alone network using a hub. Security is not an issue.

I have been using a SFF PC with FreeNas for literally years, but wanted an even smaller, quieter and more energy efficient device, so trying Rpi.

I am able to SSH in to the Rpi on all Win10 and 11 machines. I am able to access the external drive and the html files and run the html screen. I can do everything with those machine, but I am not able to even see the Rpi on the WinXP machine.

Everything has static IP addresses.

Workgroup is the same on everything.

I can ping the Rpi from the WinXP, but that is about it.

I did try OMV, it was a disaster and a waste of about 3 days.

I have searched the internet and here for answers and tried various things with the smb.conf that I found on here, but no joy.

I have tried adding the following to smb.conf individually and together in various combinations.
wins support = yes

server max protocol = NT1
lanman auth = yes
ntlm auth = yes


I am wondering if someone had some very concise actions to try.
