<snip>
The samba server (version 2.2.7a) is running on Redhat Linux
9.0. I can successfully connect to the XP machine and copy files from
the XP machine to my Linux machine. But I cannot access my linux box
from my XP machine (The samba server shows up in the browse list on
winxp).

I will attempt to help. I will not be responsible for the utter failure of
my attempts at helping. :)
Okay.. Seems to me you
1/ can see Redhat from XP (net view )
2/ Cannot connect to Redhat from XP.
On 2/ can you click on the Redhat share?? what does it say, incorrect
username/pass? Is your username/pass on xp and redhat in sync??
Did you know that there's some issues in getting XP to talk to Linux?
There's a 'sign & Seal' registry hack which needs to be applied
somewhere..
All registry and Group Policy settings according to Samba-HOWTO Chapter....
"requiresignorseal"=dword:00000000
"signsecurechannel"=dword:00000000
somewhere along those lines..

Subject: [Samba] Can't see linux machine from winxp
I have literally beat my brains out trying to get my XP machine to talk
to my samba server on my linux machine.
MY PROBLEM:
The samba server (version 2.2.7a) is running on Redhat Linux
9.0. I can successfully connect to the XP machine and copy files from
the XP machine to my Linux machine. But I cannot access my linux box
from my XP machine (The samba server shows up in the browse list on
winxp).
MY SETUP:
XP machine:
Hostname - winxp
2 ethernet cards - one going to my starband satellite modem
one going to my linux machine
IP address - 192.168.0.1 (the one connected to linux machine)
Redhat linux 9.0 machine:
Hostname - redhat
one ethernet card connected to my XP machine.
IP address - 192.168.0.252
RELATED INFO:
- I can successfully surf the net from my linux machine
- I can ping from redhat to winxp and from winxp to redhat.
(initially I could only ping from winxp to redhat by using the ip. I
added redhat to the lmhosts file on the winxp machine)
- from redhat
