First,
How are you pinging the boxes? By hostname? By IP address? It almost
sounds like you devices are not on the same subnet. If you can ping by IP
but not by hostname, then you have a name resolution problem. See /etc/hosts
and /etc/resolve.conf on the linux box and LMHOSTS on the XP box. The nmbd
part of Samba provides name resolution if configured as a wins server.
Unless you have a local dns running, then having the samba wins server
running or configuring /etc/hosts, etc.. is the only way you will get local
name resolution.
More info would be helpful...
