Try a password and once you've set it on the XP machine run smbpasswd on
the smb server to synchronize the passwords. I've also found the DOS
prompt to be very helpful where the wizard is not. You can use the "net
view" command to see if the share is visible to the XP machine and then
try mapping it to a local drive with "net use g: \\samba_server\share".
This will at least give you an error message to work with.

The DIAGNOSIS.TXT file included with the samba package gives about nine
steps that really help figure out where the problem is. Give that a try.

Sorry I can't be more specific.

"SMB services" includes the nmbd. You can check to see if nmbd is
running with the ps command (ps ax | grep nmbd).
