I have found that you don't have to have the same username and password
for both machines. I am using Samba and Windows XP together without
problems. When you go to the share, you will be prompted for your
username and password. Try using sambaserver\username (where
sambaserver is the name or IP of the server hosting samaba and username
is the samba user) and the password for the username. I believe the
issue is that it is trying to authenticate with the XP box, not Samba.

I had a problem long time ago with XP that could not log on samba. The problem was that the user had installed XP home-edition, wich does not work with samba-server as it has no support for it. We found at that time that it excisted no work-arounds. XP-pro had no problems working with samba-server. Is it XP-pro you have installed? If it is home-edition you will have to upgrade to pro.
I have samba running on a centos server at home and my xp home workstation accesses it just fine...
