XP's file sharing may be faster, but in operation it is timewasting.

I suggest setting a basic user with a public password for the public 
shares and using that.  I am not sure what type of authentication XP 
uses; however it seems to like to have a username and password even to 
browse public shares.

Kind regards
Xander
