Thanks a lot for your very fast response..
In the meantime I did some more research and found out the reason; the problem was on Win XP side (what else you would expect ? :)..
I found in the Win XP eventviewer the following error:
Error: The server's configuration parameter "irpstacksize" is too small for the server to use a local device. Please, increase the value of this parameter..
Then I found it by googling that this can be modified using regedit:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services \lanmanserver\parameters
There was actually no IRPStackSize parameter defined on my Windows box at all, so I created a DWORD and set the value to 15, as it was suggested. After a reboot on Win XP side everything started working.
thanks,
istvan

A couple of questions. Can you connect to that share using smbclient?
How about from a Windows box?
