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...

"As for Windows XP, one piece of advice.....if you have bought Windows XP home edition, it will not support domain logons. You will need to upgrade to the Pro version."
And further this article: http://techupdate.zdnet.com/techupdate/stories/main/0,14179,2820882,00.html
"Unlike all other previous Microsoft operating systems, XP Home will simply not work in an office network environment with NetWare, NT, Samba, or Windows 2000 servers. Period. You simply can't connect to the servers' domains or their file/print services."
So when you say that this problem is solvable I have just been mislead. Or has there been som upgrades on xp-home-edition in the meantime? I got curious about this issue, did it work for you straight out of the box, or did you have to do some configurations in xp registry? One of the boxes running w2k at my place would be much better off with a xphome-edition.
