Have you tried connecting from XP using the IP address of the samba
server?

\\1.2.3.4\data 

(in map network drive popup, making sure you use a user/pass that's
valid on the smb server)

If that works ok then it's perhaps an issue with netbios naming -
perhaps try giving the smb server a netbios name and make sure it's in
the same workgroup as the xp machine.
