On the XP Box, right click on My Computer, and then select Manage.

In there you should be able to see Shared Folders and Sessions.  Check that
the number of sessions does not exceed 10 - as I've seen smbclient not
release connections previously, and XP will only allow 10 concurrent
connections....
