I went ahead and made that change to smb.conf as you suggested.  As far as 
the encryption settings in windows, I have not made any changes to those.

Just a thought.  I used smbpasswd to create the samba user 'jason'. 
however, my Windows XP user is 'Jason'   Is it case sensitive or would that 
even matter.
