1) First of all i guess LAN card is working fine (even the LED blinks..properly).. and even in Device Manager it shows that the device is working properly... so what do u think do i need to check it with dealer..???
2) Secondly about the cable .. the same cable was being used by my friend for same purpose and was working great... but still i will confirm at a cyber cafe by checking it there...

I was referring to the cable & the card.It may just be that the cable or the card could be faulty.But now since you have checked lets proceed.
First & foremost remove the network cards from both pc's.i.e uninstall the drivers & re-install with the respective drivers,not windows xp drivers.

3) as ur first question...:
ping ur local host
ping 127.0.0.1
buddy it says REQUEST TIMED OUT on both the PC's...
4) even if pinging 192.168.0.1 from A and vice versa....
the reply is same REQUEST TIMED OUT...
5) even i checked my IP by ipconfig...

My first impression of the above is that the TCP/IP stack has gone haywire.In XP you cant remove/reinstall the TCP/IP protocol stack,you can reset it though.
At the command prompt issue the following commands:
Code:
netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
You can read more about it
here
The above will reset TCP/IP stack & save a log file in the C: drive with the filename resetlog.txtBtw you did not specify what the outcome of "ipconfig/all" was?

6) i have one doubt ... one of my friend suggested that it may be the prob of somehting Guest and Adminsitrator and all... He meant one has to be Admin and other Guest... though he wasnt sure nor was I... Do u have anythin on this..

Nope nothing like that.By enabling the guest account anyone could logon & access resources irrespective of whether you want it or not.Its best to disable it for security perspective.But since you dont have a proper network configured yet all this comes under the second phase.
