If only 1 or 2 users log into that box, you can set those users up as
local admins on that XP box, log in as one of the users you set up and
go to Control Panel->Admin Tools->Services : open up properties of the
workstation service, click on the Recovery tab and set First Failure,
Second Failure, and Subsequent Failures to "Restart the Service".
Roaming profiles won't work, but you will have access to shares on your
samba server. This will also run any logon batch files the server hands
out and it will also map drives. The downside to this is that (again)
Roaming profiles will not work, and it takes several minutes to log in
the first time after a restart. So, while this is a horrible solution,
it can be useful in some cases until this problem is solved. Out of the
8 machines that are having a problem, only 1 didn't work with this
temporary solution.

I am having the same problem with one of my xp boxes. The only
solution i have found is that when the machine boots you must first
login to the Local Administrator Account not the domain. then you can
log out and log onto the domain as a normal user. In my investigation
i have found that the Computer Browser service is failing, One
sugestion i have gotten is to set that service to logon to the locol
administrator account. Havent tried this as of yet, I'll let you know
how it works. This is a strange error because i have 2 other XP
boxes running identicle copies of XP with no problems
