[Samba] 2.2.4 and XP Pro

[Brian Corman]

I have Samba 2.2.4 running on RedHat 7.3 and I am trying to connect a
Win XP Pro laptop to it. I installed the latest (as of today) registry
fix on the laptop, but when I browse to the samba server in network
neighborhood, I get the message:
\\Localhost

network. Go to System in Control Panel to change the computer name and
try again." 
The computer names are different though, so I don't know where the
duplicate is coming from, if this is the actual problem, which I suspect
it is not (there are no other computers on the network), and my name and
password on XP are the same as my account on the linux box. I stripped
down my smb.conf file to simply:
               [global]
           workgroup = MYGROUP
 
           [homes]
              guest ok = no
              read only = no
to get it to work, so I know there are no password problems, but it
still gives me the same error messages. Using smbclient on the localhost
works fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Brian
