It seems that samba conf is completely irrelevant. There is someting wrong with the way XP connects it... Id like to know has ANYONE EVER managed to get this working between a samba server and XP machine....
Okay---
Looking from the direction of the XP machine
The nbtstat output:
nbtstat -a wtf
Lan:

MAC Address = 00-00-00-00-00-00
So the name is resolved but there is something wrong with the mac addres....
netwiev results in
net view 192.168.0.1
System error 64 has occurred.
The specified network name is no longer available.
From samba to XP evrything seems to work...
Oh, WTF is my linuxboxes netbios name....
And I really wonder what the f*** is going on and witch is flawed, XP or samba...

i live in a house with 6 people... all of them run xp win2k or OSX -- ALL of them can contact my fileshare adress...
take a look at my smb.conf... that may help a bit.. as to your other issues i think your NIC may need a nice relaxing bath :S
workgroup = Springbanksamba
netbios name = rollright
server string = rollright.coreline.local
encrypt passwords = yes
load printers = no
wins support = yes
local master = yes
security = user
interfaces = your ip addy
#share specs
[homes]
read only = yes
browsable = no
#[share name]
#path = /mnt/samba
#browsable = yes
#write list = karl simon dan charles dave
[rollright]
path = /mnt/rollright
browsable = yes
write list = crm, charles, karl, dan, dave, simon, rob
read only = no
interfaces = your ip
You have a wins server on your system? Thats all I can see in the way of differences... this and the interface declaration in share definition... Ill try that... and then im clueless as to what to do...
And you actually solved my problem As I cleaned the conf file for pasteing of unnesecary stuff I found a uncommented out hosts allow directive that was as it was in the example... Meaning not suitable for my subnet---- So sorry for making a mess..
