SAMBA + wIN xp ( Help Needed )

Hallo.
I think that the topic is not new. I decided however to post this
news due to strange anoyng problem I faced. I have small network with
14 host (10x windows 98, 4x WinXP), which all have access to samba
server. Server is based on linux RedHat 8.0. samba-2.2.5-10 server.
Recently I got the new notebook with WinXP Home installed and I can't
reach proper configuration for samba use. Has Microsoft changed
smething in SMB protocol??? At first I noticed that the NetBEUI and
NetBIOS protocols was missing. I managed to install these protocols (
I can browse Network Neigborhood ) but I can't get access to samba
share. I havn't had any problems with XP configuration untill now. If
enyone could help I would be emormously greatefull.
XP registry configuration is as follows:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Netlogon\Parameters\requi
resignorseal
= 0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Netlogon\Parameters\signs
ecurechannel
= 0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Netlogon\Parameters\seals
ecurechannel
= 0
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\LanmanWorkStation\Parame
ters]
"EnablePlainTextPassword"=dword:00000001

My SAMBA smb.conf :

[global]
netbios name = SEEN_SERVER
workgroup = SEEN
server string = Firmowy serwer plikow
hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/24
log file = /var/log/samba/connects.log
security = user
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
interfaces = 192.168.1.1/24
local master = yes
os level = 99
preferred master = yes
wins support = yes
character set = ISO8859-2
client code page = 852
code page directory = /usr/share/samba/codepages

Best regards

No, nothing has changed regarding the protocol from XP's side that would
affect Samba access. What *has* changed is that XP's Service Pack 2
activates a built-in Windows Firewall automatically. Go into its applet
in Control Panel and either add the lan as a Trusted Exception or,
depending on your situation, turn it off. I certainly wouldn't run a
Windows machine without a firewall for a second unless it is all by
itself in a locked room with no outside access.

Also, uninstall any extraneous protocols like NetBEUI. You only want
TCP/IP.

I have 4 XPSP2 boxen here that have no problem interacting with the two
Linux boxen (SuSE 9.1 Pro).

Also, make sure you add the user accounts/passwords for the new laptop
to Samba with smbpasswd after adding the users/passwords to the server
box.

See if making those changes helps.

There's your problem. Mickysoft busted most of the networking support
in XP home so you have to go purchase XPensive professional.

XP home does not support being part of a domain. It shoudl however be
able to print to domain printers and access resources, if those
resources allow access from unauthorized computers I would suspect.
