Why do you want/need virtual XP? If you are running only XyWr, why not
go with a much simpler virtual Dos emulator?

Go to the network settings and remove the default gateway and DNS server
addresses (but leave the IP address and subnet mask as is). This makes
your machine (virtual or otherwise) invisible to the Internet, both
directions, but still visible to your LAN.
