I have installed MSDE in WinXP Professional SP2, and already enabled the
TCP/IP protocol in SQL Server Network Utility. However, I find that it is
failure to connect the database by calling the IP Address even I test it
locally (use sa/window authorization) , but it is ok by calling the computer
name or (local) (also use sa/window authorization) . I have disabled the
firewall and the situation is no change.

Anyone have same experience on this case?

Yes, I have. But I have no answer how to fix it. There must be a bug
somwhere.
