I assume you are getting some results, yes?

XP does not register as many names as earlier version of Windows, suggesting
that it doesn't know how to offer some services.  If I recall correctly (I
don't have XP to test against) it does not register the client#00 unique
name (the client service).  There are others missing as well.

You can't really count on Windows to register names for all of the
services.  The services seem to come and go and move to other names and
such.
