Are you sure, that you named that winxp box "winpro"? Inside a windows cmdline window, use "nbtstat -n" to view the registered netbios names. Also have a look whether the workgroup matches. Btw - using 'smbclient -L winpro -U<username>%<password>' is an easier way to check for availability of that remote box. Also 'smbtree' can help to diagnose that problem.
