The thing is probably where Win XP tries to securely connect to the Samba server. Unfortunately, this does not work, and so fails.

Try taking off the secure communication by logging on as an Administrator, going to Control Panel > Administration Tools > Local Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options and then changing 'Digitally Sign Server Communications' to disabled.

I had this problem for ages, then looked there and it solved it for me.
