Is this your first time doing this? Have this problem occur before? If no, that means you must have changed some settings recently.

I found a way that solve problem,one of my coworkers found it(but didn't explain it)
we set win server 2008(as DC Server) IP as a DNS for XP clients,file sharing works
but I can't understand why???
can any one explain it for me??

Good to hear your problem is solved. Lol, i should have thought of that but i take your problem as an advanced and serious one. DNS is shortform for Domain Name System. Its a basic way how computer share data with one another on the internet or in private networks. Look at the picture i got from the internet maybe that will help you out.
