Make sure your cable is not Defective..that would be the 1st thing to check

Re: iTunes Problem: Third Computer Can't See Or Be Seen
Getting XP and Vista to play nice on a network together has proven very difficult for me. I still have difficulty. I suspect the same for you.
In my case I can get them to share an internet connection. I can also 'see' them on the network. I just can't seem to get them to share files. MS has not made the task easy. (They want you to have all VISTA whether you like it or not)
It can be done - I just don't have the time to dedicate to figuring it out. I'm pretty sure this is your problem, but more details would help;
Can you share files between all of your computers?
Which computers are running which OS and which are working with iTunes?

Double check the cat5 cable. Is it yellow? There is a difference between a LAN cable and a cat5. I believe one has the #4 and #5 wires inverted...
Congrats on getting your xp and vista to play nice together.
Are you able to swap files between your two xp computers?

I would guess you are using a wrong cable. I wouldn't bet lunch on it, but I would suspect that is your problem. Cables are cheap. Try it out.
