Default HLDS invisible under Win XP - 07-05-2005

Since I changed OS from Win98SE to WinXP SP2 I got problem with testing DS. Everytime I was trying if something works (or not) on DS I've been doing this way:
I was starting HLDS CS1.5 (LAN) on my PC, then - at the same PC - I was starting the client CS and I was joining to my HLDS I created and I was able to test something. Since I switched to Win XP SP2 I'm not able to do any test like above anymore, because my HLDS is invisible for my client I'm starting at the same PC!
Yes - I even did switch off the firewall included into XP to see if this is the reason of my problems, but it didn't help me.
The similar problem I have , too , is this - when I'm starting the listenserver (LAN) CS1.5 - during the game, under Win98 - when I was pushing ESC button on my keyboard I was able to see the list of servers on my LAN - including also my listenserver, too. Now - under Win XP - I can't see anymore my (listen)server on the list of servers in my local area (it's also invisible for me).
The problem I described is really annoying me, since it's very important for me as a beta-tester for few addons for CS to still be able test something on DS on the same PC I'm starting the client.
Anyone can help me?

LOL! It works !!!
Thanks a lot, but I'm wondering why exactly I can't see this server under XP? What is the reason?

It's probably because IPX and/or TCP/IP protocol is not available.

I didn't use under IPX Win98SE. Only TCP/IP. The same now under XP but under XP it works odd (like described above).
