David,

I've had trouble with password encryption in the past. If your samba server is 
set up with plain-text passwords, but WinXP is sending encrypted passwords, 
you'll never get authentication to succeed.

If that's the trouble, then you need to either change your WinXP to use plain-
text passwords (normally a registry setting), or change your samba server (and 
all other Windows machines) to send encrypted passwords.

Good luck,
Lori
