The @ sign means you are specifying the domain. With Active Directory
server you can have an internet-type domain name. Which means, as
you saw, can simplify login experience for the user.
I would guess the solution is to have your Samba server emulate an AD
server. I don't think there is a way to change the client side
behaviour but you could run gpedit.msc on an XP machine and see what
settings exist.
