If so, here's my samba config file that works with WinXP *and* Win98:
(Note: I set up a username called "shared" as the only shared directory.)
/usr/local/etc/smb.conf

[global]
valid users = shared
force user = shared
guest account = shared
default case = lower
case sensitive = no
remote announce = 192.168.0.5/YourWindowsWorkgroupName
auto services = global
default = global
dns proxy = no
encrypt passwords = no
null passwords = yes
security = share
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192
max log size = 50
server string = dev
netbios name = dev
netbios aliases = dev
workgroup = YourWindowsWorkgroupName
log file = /var/log/samba.log
