I went ahead and made that change to smb.conf as you suggested. As far as
the encryption settings in windows, I have not made any changes to those.
Just a thought. I used smbpasswd to create the samba user 'jason'.
however, my Windows XP user is 'Jason' Is it case sensitive or would that
even matter.

Hi,
did you changed the encryption-settings in windows xp?
just look under controll-panel -> local security policies...
just a hint:
>>>>>>> [homes]
>>>>>>> comment = Home Directories
>>>>>>> path = /home
>>>>>>> read only = No
change the path to following: path = /home/%u
the %u will bei expanded to your account name ...then you can delete the
myshare section...

Just another easy try, did you install SP2 on XP? Is the firewall on?
Cheers
