In that case it has to be something pretty basic.  Thinking aloud,

If XP can reach it, the physical side must be ok.  Do I understand that 
you have two linux boxes and one XP laptop to connect to this router?  
Do they all have the same physical layout - i.e. cable/wifi to router?  
Can you clarify the layout of your LAN?  Do all boxes, linux and XP, 
use static IP?

I can't think of anything that would stop you at pinging level if the IP 
subnet was the same for all, as you say it is.  At the moment, all I 
can suggest is that you patiently go through every setting possible on 
the XP laptop that does connect, writing down the settings.  Hopefully 
that will bring your attention to something that you have overlooked.
