Make sure there is no firewall blocking (windows firewall, antivirus firewall, etc) on that XP computer. You can test to ping that XP computer from laptop. You also need to set the same Workgroup name for all computers in the same network. You can get more info on these simple file sharing or share file with user/group permission articles.
After all, open a file explorer on laptop, type \\XP-PC-IP (i.e. \\192.168.1.100) in address bar and hit Enter button to try to access shared folder/printer on XP.
