Well im sure we all know by now to use the cleartext option if we aren't going to use encrypted passwords, but one thing that I found after hours of trying to get XP to log onto my share was that signorseal on the xp box needs to be turned off. To do this open regedit and go to the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters and change the requiresignorseal DWORD to 0. After you make the changes restart and make sure your samba server is correctly configured. Thats it!
