[Samba] can't access samba share from xp

[hemp4fuel]

I did the smbclient -Llocalhost and it does show jerry, I don't have any 
  firewall going, I do see the shares in My network places when I use 
the security share and I do get the error when i click on one, and if I 
try it with security user I cant get past the Samba Server icon.  I 
don't use encrypted passwd.  Thanks again.
