internal network + internet sharing
First of all, kill the IPs you set in the alternate network. If you gateway is 10.x.x.x, your alternate settings will never work. Not to mention, it interferes with DHCP.
Second, either kill your firewall (not recommended) or add your network to the allowed list (recommended).
Third, create a user account/password on each computer.
Fourth, create the exact user name/password combinations of each computer on the XP machine with the printer.
You're done. Note that, at no time, did you use the network wizard.
