Well, "broken pipe" in Samba indicates network problem...

Do you have Windows Firewall enabled on the XP machine? Or maybe a
third party Firewall? Anti-virus on the Windows machine?

Are you able to ping the Linux machine from the XP machine? And the
other way around, ping the XP machine from the Linux machine?

Is it possible that you have duplicate names on other machines on the
same network?

Does one of these machines have multiple network interfaces?

Do you have errors on the interfaces? (look at the "ifconfig" output).
Do you have speed/duplex negotiation issues between the hosts and the
switches?

Could you describe your network topology in more details?

HTH,
Filipe
