XP Laptop doesnt "see" Airport Express

Help me get an XP Laptop to see my Airport Express, please!
I have been using my Airport Express home network with my eMac and my ex-flatmate's iBook without any problems whatsoever for a couple of years. Now I have a new flatmate though and she has a Windows XP-based laptop; I cannot get her laptop to "see" my Airport Express and I guess that- because it can actually see all other password-protected networks operated by my neighbours - the problem lies with the Airport Express settings. I have tried all sorts of things- like getting the AE to "not distribute IP address" etc etc, but to no avail.
Would any kind soul help me with this, please?
Thanks in advance for your co-operation,
Marco :-)

Response by poster: 128k WEP Password. Is that what you're referring to?
Thx,

Try typing the network name in by hand on the XP machine? (Advanced settings, 2nd tab over, list of networks -- clear them all out, click Add and put it in by hand.)
