  I have had alot of issues trying to get xp to log onto samba too. I had problems loggin on mapping drives an printer sharing. I enabled NetBios over TCP/IP in WIndows XP and played with rights on winblows and finally go mine to work. I was able to see the shares doing smbclient but never could log on. I think xp might be by default  cannot log onto a non Windows domain. Ive never had these issues with 2000 plus i also noticed in xp that my drives that I have mapped from xp never reconnect I always have to renter username password 2000 never did that.

We have an XP laptop connecting to a samba server (just mentioned to 
pretend this is a linux question) whenever the laptop connects to the 
samba server it always wants to use a certain username, no matter if I 
disconnect all drives, reboot and try to map a drive as a diffrent 
username. It always wants to use this one username (which isn't that of 
the laptops owner). It's a laptop so it doesn't log into a domain or 
anything. No matter what I try I can't get it to connect to the server 
as anything other than this certain username, which happens to be our 
help desk guy, I've tried searching the registry and can't find any 
occurances of this username. Any idea where this may be cached? I tried 
to map the drive from the command line with net use and specifying the 
username, it gives me a wrong password then. It appears that it is still 
trying to map as this one userid.
