How is your Win XP PC connected to the Clear router, by an Ethernet cable or does the PC have a wireless card installed?

Yes, but does the old XP machine have a wireless card with the proper drivers installed already -- since you are not on a wired connection?

All of your other devices have built in wireless, but most older desktops do not unless added.

And i don't think it has a wireless card

The Mac and PC must have the same ip address and the conflict only allows one to connect at a time. You should be able to allow more address assignment in the Clear configuration page.
