I guess one of the easiest things to check first would be to try a different network cable to see if that's where the problem is. If it's not that, you could look to see if their are any updated drivers for you Lan on the notebook.
If it's not a hardware issue, then read through This Guide from Microsoft's Site on how to set up a home network using XP, to make sure you have everything configured properly between the XP Pro and XP Home machine.

Make sure that all of the computer are using the same workgroup and domain. Often, if the workgroup name is diferent, you can see the other computers some of the time but not necesarly everytime.
