Saxon:

Version 2.0.6 is very, very old and has not been supported for a long time.
Version 2.2.12 (the last of the 2.x line) was released in 2004.

Regarding the problem you describe above, what do you expect to see if you
connect to a server and provide no share information?  The problem with
\\192.168.10.150 is as the error message says.  You have not provided a path
to a valid share.  The UNC format (which is what you are using) requires a
path to a share (or a share and subdirectory).

I would have to see a network trace to see what is actually going wrong, but
my assumption is that it's a simple incompatibility due to the out of date
Samba code you're running, or...

Do you have rights to access the share from your XP account?
