In this case you need two LanCard for your server computer, first LanCard is to connected to the SmartBro and the other one is connected to the Lancard of your second computer or to a hub.
Open your network connection.
To open,

Start > Settings > Network Connections.
Option 2:
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network Connections.
As you can see, there are two connections, the SmartBro the local one. (Rename it to identify easily)
Your SmartBro connection is set up to Obtain an IP Address automatically, you can verify it by, right click the connection icon > Properties > click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Click on Properties.

sir, I tried your settings but it didn't worked for me.,
Im also using SmartBro,
Crossover cable.
my XP machine is the (server) and the Client is Windows 7.
I can't see my Windows 7 in my XP machine, and can't share files and internet.
i also disabled firewalls and some passwords.
I've been configuring this for four hours and more..
any ideas sir?
im losing hope. :\
First, be sure to install your LAN cards correctly.
For your Server(Windows XP), 2 lan cards must be install and configure IPs as I stated above.
For you Client Machine (Windows 7) 1 lan card must be installed and configure same as above using Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
In this stage you can now browse the internet.
Right?
Then for file sharing.
Please refer to this post.
File Sharing between Windows 7 and XP
Is it working now?..
P.S.
Restart both (Client and Server Machine) after setting your configurations.
