I'm translating this all as:
XP box is named "willy" and has the IP 192.168.0.1.
what's the workgroup name?  appears to be "workgroup" which is fine.

also, smbclient will use smb.conf too.  what do you have set for the workgroup?

this is extra extra weird.  something is very wrong with how the names
are being resolved.  at this point, can you ping willy and get the
192.168.0.1 address?
