well, thanks for correcting my understanding then, 
perhaps below are additionals
a. editing /etc/mail/access and adding IP of XP machines with that
b. compile access makemap hash access.db < access
c. do sendmail restart

this will provide the relay for that

That's not it. The sendmail.mc entry causes sendmail to listen on 
localhost only. The OP's Windows box is getting a connection to the 
sendmail server (so it must already be listening on more than just 
localhost) but it's refusing to relay. The fix for that is to edit 
/etc/mail/access to allow relaying for the OP's LAN and then do "make -C 
/etc/mail".
