That may be it right there.  Linux will apply updates to samba to
(allegedly) quash vulnerabilities.  I can rememeber when they applied one and
my Warp 4 box could no longer access the samba shares on the linux server.
Apparently OS/2 relied on the vulnerability being there in order to work.

Since XP's samba has probably not been updated in a while it may have the
same issue.

To get around this (with an old Win98 machine I have that does not
otherwise have access to the Internet), I installed an ftp server on the
linux machine for the occassional times I need to transfer something
between boxes.

I have never had an issue with linux systems, that are all running NFS,
seeing each other.  Then again, I have not tried it with the variation of
distros that you seem to be.
