Homegroup only works with Windows 7 computers and is not (fully) compatible with XP.

If it shouldn't work, maybe try this way:

1. Windows 7 > Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > View your active networks > Home network that you have set up
2. In the next window, choose "Work network" to switch from a homegroup to a workgroup so your two pcs can communicate with each other
3. Assign the same workgroup name to both PCs and share their folders in windows explorer
