Xp/Samba

[Dave Andruczyk]

What version of samba?  What do you see in the samba logs?
(/var/log/samba/log.smb)
How do you have samba configured with regards to security level?
 (security = user/share/domain )
Are you using "username map" functionality in samba?
are you using encrypted passwords? (encrypt passwords = yes in smb.conf) 
necessary for XP unless you applied a registry patch/change to over-ride it.
