Accessing Windows XP w/ SP2 shares and printers via samba

I recently installed Service Pack 2 on my Windows XP desktop. This
Windows machine has two printers connected to it that were previously
shared to my Fedora Core 3 machine and my wife's apple.

After installing SP2 I can not longer access the printers on the Windows
machine or any shares from a non-Windows machine.

I have disabled the SP2 firewall and I have added both the Apple and
Fedora machines to the same workgroup as the Windows computer
(pre-online Google suggestions), but neither action resolved the problem.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so were you able to find a
solution?

Thanks,
        Eric
