The problem is that you have

	map to guest = bad user

But the logs from the XP client show:

[2006/01/25 10:11:46, 2] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(312)
	check_ntlm_password:  Authentication for user
	[KAPELLER] -> [KAPELLER] FAILED with error
	NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
	^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Not NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER.  I believe this is just a
limitation with security = server and that if you swap
to domain mode security, things will work (assuming that
user KAPELLER really does not exist.
