I'm not too sure, but can't you just make a static ip address for your xp machine, giving the dns address of your server running dns, then add host records in dns for all the machines on your network.
Sorry my answer is so brief, I'm in a hurry.

I could try. But how do I do that?

- Have you tried turning it off and on again?

hey come to think of it that might just work, if everyone has a static address, using the routes i gave you and adding DNS A records manually through dnsmgmt.msc i think you could get it to work

Well, I'm assuming dns is already installed on server. If not, go to server roles and install dns. Like eyeball said, assign static ip's to all machines on the network. I'm thinking static routes won't be necessary if ip's are static. The only comp really using the server's dns will be your xp machine.
The xp machine will have to have the dns address entered in as your servers ip.
In dns, you can add host(computer ip addresses) A records on by one in the dns console.
Then, the dns on your server tells your xp machine what private addresses the other machines have.If the other machines have public addresses, static routes might be required(although I'm not too sure).
Give it a try.
