Yes - winXP asks for both a username and a password which enable
connection to the server.

this is all set up I think as it should be
linux accounts have been created and users have been added to
smbpasswd file also.

mmm - this is a possible issue
linux and smbpasswd are the same, but the win XP passwords are prolly
set to blank - user names are the same on each.

No - It's not this - You just need to log out, then log in again for
the win XP boxes to not be able to reconnect.
And I can view the samba logs to see XP try to reconnect, but fail
with a bad password. (correct username is sent)

mmm - much the same. Only possible difference is I haven't included
wins support, but I would not have thought that a likely cause of
problems.
win98 clients also do not experience any problems
