At work I have a Linux box running Mandrake 8.1 and Samba 2.2.1a.  I 
have the Samba server setup to request login in name and passwords.  
Several people have been connecting to this machine for the past several 
years via Windows 2000 with no problem.  Recently some of us have 
finally been upgraded to Windows XP.  When I no try connecting to the 
Samba server, I get a login in prompt as usual.  However, typing in my 
username and samba password does not let me log in.  Is there a setting 
on XP that needs to be made or a problem with the samba server being "so 
old".
