[Samba] Can see server, but can't see shares. Whazzup?

[antonio at kabaya.homelinux.org]

Try to login in xp with a user account + passwd the same that in
smbpasswd; #smbpasswd -a user

I think you have an anonymous account in your winxp.
That prob reminds me the situation in w98 when an user cancel the net
passwd at the start.
