Please check your network. Seems that one of your XPs is becoming the master browser. Please the nmbd logs on your samba server to know which box is becoming the master browser. If it's an XP machine, check Microsoft website. I seem to remember that there are two settings in Windows which will prevent a Windows box becoming the master browser.
