net view should work without problem from your xp machine, provided you have logged into your XP machine with a user account that matches one on your samba server. Remember if samba is using encrypted passwords you need the user in the smbpasswd file.
When your xp machine starts up and shows you the usernames to click to login make sure it matches the samba server.
