Xp/Samba

The drive mapping issue only occurs on WinXP Home Edition from my

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.
