How about:

XP <--> DL <--> cable modem

The DL box IS your router, so you shouldn't need your old router.

Adding your old router into the path (as you diagrammed above)
complicates your network setup tremendously, and you probably have a
routing problem (or subnet problem) buried somewhere in your settings.

If you're old router is a wireless router, and you need it for your
wireless communications, then turn off it's DHCP server and configure it
has a wireless HUB (not a router), and plug ONLY the LAN side into your
switch on your internal network (don't use it's WAN port).

Also when pinging, you should ping BOTH the name and the IP of the host
to rule out a DNS configuration problem.
