Stupid question, is File and Print services enabled on the XP box?

So it shows up at one point, but then goes away?

Well a couple of things here.  1) maybe your doing DNS lookup before
hosts?  Or 2) Set the hostname with superuser.

If you don't see your IWILL box, one thing to try is putting:

	   netbios name = WILL

In your smb.conf .. Perhaps that might do it.
