Which version of XP (home, professional?) IIRC the home version lacks 
some essential network features, which may cause all kind of troubles 
after a power down of all systems.

Check the real nature of XP on the HP-WindyXP laptop.

I'm afraid it well could be the other way around: a slimmed down XP 
isn't very good in proffessional networking.

Have to admit I wonder why you have to do it over every 3 months.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I wonder why you don't attach every 
system directly to the router. With a setup like that a faulty subsystem 
would drag the entire network down (I think).

Looks to me the only reliable way to do the job. But's that 's me ofcoz.
