Have you enabled IP Security as part of the site?

See this page; http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/security/ipsecurity/add[^]

Sorry, don't have an XP machine to verify on, but I think you go into IIS, right click the website, select properties and on the Directory Security tab edit IP Restrictions.
