The server shows up under workgroup computers on the winbox but I cannot talk with it either by clicking it or using "net use \\servername\printers". This does work: net use \\serverIP-ADDRESS\\printers
client: xp
server: samba 2.2.5
Only thing strange is both computers are on different subnets one on 192.168.0 and one on 192.168.1 |

Another option is to setup Samba as a WINS server and make XP use samba's WINS server. WINS stands for Windows Internet Naming Service, which is basically DNS over NetBIOS.
If you only have a few computers, it would probably be quicker to just take akisan's advise and setup lmhosts. For Windows XP, put your lmhosts file in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\, there should be a sample there.
