you have to set the Local Security Policy of the Windows XP box to
"Send Unencrypted Passwords to Third Party SMB servers" that will
work. It does for me on SAMBA 3
    

Why do you want to expose your passwords to everything on the net, by
sending them unencrypted?  Anything on your same sub-net (trojans,
malicious users, etc.) can take advantage of you.  If you were using
wireless networking, it'd be even stupider to do.

  

That is the only way I could get samba to work with XP SP2...
