[Samba] Very strange problem with Samba 3.0.X and Windows XP

Dear All,

I have a computer with Windows XP Home accessing a Linux server using 
Samba. Although most of people say that its not possible to use XP Home 
in network, it can work (In my network, I have 6 computers accessing 
network). The particularity is that it can not access domain, but this 
is another story.

I had to reinstall Windows due to a problem and after that I can not 
access samba shares anymore. Looking at the log, I can see the following 
message:

[2004/11/23 08:41:08, 2] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(310)
   check_ntlm_password:  Authentication for user [XXX] -> [XXX]
   FAILED with error NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER

I´m trying to use text password (encrypt password = no), disable encrypt 
password at Windows register, but I still can not access linux shares. 
Some of you has a suggestion/trick?

Thanks.

Marcelo
