I have found that you don't have to have the same username and password
for both machines.  I am using Samba and Windows XP together without
problems.  When you go to the share, you will be prompted for your
username and password.  Try using sambaserver\username (where
sambaserver is the name or IP of the server hosting samaba and username
is the samba user) and the password for the username.  I believe the
issue is that it is trying to authenticate with the XP box, not Samba.
