Leonard,
Out of the box, iptables shouldn't block anything. However, some program
might have changed its filters. To check that you could download an
iptables frontend (such as guarddog), sudo run it and disable the
firewall. That resets iptable filters.
Then try to mount the windows XP machine. If it works then you can edit
the filters in guarddog to allow the different LAN
protocols. The windows firewall has to be completely off for the
experiment (as well as any other firewall that may come bundled with
windows security suites).
Hope this helps,
Oudisos
