Make sure you create each user that will access your samba share. Make
sure you disable firewalls on the xp box. Make sure you wait a while
before plugging in and setting up the network so that the servers are
found.

I managed to make the xp box see my ubuntu samba share perfectly
(something that I couldn't do with windows) but I still can't see the xp
box from here.

So some help would be appreciated for me too.
