Thanks for some constructive suggestions, Skywalker. I could really use some more considering I haven't had any luck yet.
Workstation and Server are enabled. I've disabled Windows Firewall a few times with no better luck. There are no Norton/Symantec services nor apps installed.
With the firewall off, I've manually started these services in the following order with no additional luck: Network Connections, SSDP Discovery Service, WebClient, UPnP Device Host, HTTP SSL, NT LM Security Support Provider, Portable Media Serial Number Service, QoS RSVP, RPC Locator, Removable Storage.

These services are marked Disabled and the options for start/stop/etc. are all grayed out: Routing and Remote Access, Telnet, Terminal Services,
Just in case, the system is MS XP Pro, Version 2002, SP2.
Anything else would be greatly appreciated!
P.S. Maybe I've got the name wrong then - what are the network-spreading infections called if not viruses?
