Hi Roy:
I use Maxima on XP on a 32-bit laptop all the time. Both xmaxima & wxmaxima work. However, you may get a warning about opening up a path through the firewall. If you didn't get such a message, the firewall may be blocking access to maxima.

I followed the installation instructions to the letter so I'm puzzled!! I've googled the problem and there doesn't seem to be any clearcut solution to this problem (tho I may have missed it).
