OK - turn OFF encrypted passwords on the Samba side. Maybe the XP box is
not using encrypted passwords for some reason. This means the password
to use will be the user's Unix password.

Also, turn up the logging level to three or so, and watch what happens
when you try to connect. Do you see a connect happening at all? If so,
what does Samba say happens to the connection?

Oh - and what happens when you try from another machine (not the local
one)?

Regards, K.
