Which samba version?
Are these XP Pro or XP Home machines. If XP Pro, have you tried joining
the machine to the domain?
When you map a drive letter to a samba share from XP, are you using
"LocalPC\yourname" or "Domain\Yourname" when specifying credentials?
Are you mapping the drive with Windows explorer or the "net" command?
