No thats not the problem. I checked it, and the security settings are 
not activated.
All ports and all protocols are open. All other NT and Win98 Bixes can 
connect.

As I written below, I started a tcpdump on the linux box an I saw that when
bowsing the network on the XP box, I can see packets going from the
XP box to 224.0.1.22 (srvloc.mcast.net), but no packets to the
usual port 137-139.
In the XP network neighborhood I also can see other Workgroups and
other Windows-PC but not the samba server.

I also remeber a case, where somebody told me, that he was playing with
a new XP installation - at the beginning everything worked fine an he also
could connect to his samba server, but then he klicked the option to
install the xp home network in the network assistant. From that point on
he also had the problem that the samba server disappeared and he wasnt
able to get it back to work. So he decided to swaitch back to Win98 ...

Isnt there anybody out there having the same problems ?
If its so easy to destroy the working samba connection with XP pressing
the worng button, the must be hundreds of people havin the sam problem.

As I told below, I alreday tried all registry hacks, disabling 
certificates, signing
and so on, but nothing worked.

Please help.

Regards,
Bernd
