[Samba] Can't access shares - still doesn't work

I started over and tried again.  Using only the Fedora Core 6 installation
disks went all the way through the process of setting up Samba.  Had
absolutely no problem with accessing the shares.  Ran 'yum update'.  Now I'm
back to being asked for a username and password which it then won't
validate.  Does this narrow it down for anybody?  Is there something in the
Samba updates (or something else) that changes the rules?

Running FC6 and Samba 3.0.24-11.fc6.
Workstation is XP Pro
Authentication is to NT4 domain - PDC is NT4 server.
