When you want to mount a share on the XP machine you get the access
denied error? If you, please post the exact command you use.

Did you run "smbpasswd -e USER" too to enable the Samba user?

Correct, only for domain features needed.

What is the result of "smbclient -L KEHTRON24 -U USER"?

Uncomment the "smb passwd file" line.

If you want your XP machine be local master uncomment the line above. If
Samba should play that role then uncomment the line and switch it to
yes.

If "local master = no" let it be 2, if yes then level 99.

If Samba shall be master browser uncomment it.

Does "smbclient -L localhost" on the Fedora machine work well after the
changes?
