the best place to start would be to 'tail -f' the appropriate samba log
file as you attempt to mount the share.  The logs are most likely in
/var/log/samba/.  There should be a specific logfile for your xp client --
either named by IP or the computer's name.  The shotgun approach, of
course, is tail -f /var/log/samba/*,
