It's called "defenestration" (see the notes in The Jargon File
especially).
Won't actually solve any problems, but it will make you feel sooo much
better =)
I've had problems with XP not playing well with others - in one case,
playing "Shattered Galaxy", we'd see the packets coming back from the SG
server and actually go over the Ethernet locally - but the Windows box
just wouldn't acknowledge that the packets arrived. I've seen XP also
ignore return packets from HTTPS sites when HTTP worked perfectly on the
same site.
Try moving the Samba server to a different IP address, or connecting to
a different Samba server. I'm certain that there's a registry entry in
Windows XP which means, "that box looks like a Linux box - don't talk to
it."
