If you can connect while the firewall is disabled, then the problem is the firewall and you will need to add an exception on the XP firewall.

Thank bob_man_uk & CRC123 very much!
I fixed the problem recently.
The reason was come from the "hosts allow" in smb.conf.
As I wrote before I have checked the "hosts allow" in smb.conf, however, I figured out that the computers with connection problem to Samba Server were having different host number with the computers without connection problem to Samba Server.
The IP Addresses were acquired from the DHCP Server under Windows Server 2003.
DHCP Server helped us a lot in IP Address management, but sometimes it failed.
Finally, I extended the range of "hosts allow" and everything works properly right now.
