There are dozens of "likely" causes.  You've given us zero information 
about the physical setup, logical setup and your own diagnostics to 
identify the problem.  Try to imagine that we're not in the room with 
you and therefore can't see what exactly you're trying to do.

Are all the machines switched on?  Are they plugged into the network? 
Can the XP machines see the linux box by any other protocol?  Can you 
ping the server from the client?  The client from the server?  Can one 
client ping another?

Help us to help you. :)

Mart.
