I already have the ethernet connection and so far I have not had any success on making the thing work. I'm sure there is something I missed.

If you have a router, it allows local network. If not you either need to use a cross-over cable or a switch and 2 standard cables. You will also need to manually configure all your tcp/ip.

Your 2 XP computers should be plugged into a "switch". Hubs are history.
The IP's of the two computers need to be on the same subnet, and it will be most helpful if they are in the same workgroup.
