This is a known problem with XP and samba. MS introduced some 
"enhancements" to the SMB protocols which stopped XP machines talking 
properly to samba servers. It can't be fixed by tweaking the smb.comf 
files and is still being worked on by the samba team to see if they can 
come up with a fully working solution. Check their website 
http://www.samba.org for the latest news.
