make sure that your smbd- and "nmbd"-services are running

in the nmbd.log you should have an entry about an master-browser
this can take a while, ca. 10 minutes ?

make sure that all your clients are in the same workgroup
your XP-user exist in the /etc/samba/smbpasswd
you have disabled the XP-firewall for your lan
in your smb.conf  your_share_section you should evtl. have
"browseable = yes"
and you should evtl. remove
"username = nobody"

and you could try in the global-section
"hosts allow = <your_subnet>"
"encrypt passwords = yes"
