You do. Windows XP, like NT and Win2k, is smart enough to require that you
connect with a valid user account. Are you trying to use an anonymous
connection? For that to work you need to enable the Guest account.
Otherwise, create an account named samba_user with minimal rights and then
connect using that account. If you enable logon auditing on the XP machine
you will see that the box is rejecting the connections.
Well, I think that is what is happening.
