Now that was interesting!

It came up, first with what seemed to be an error ("failed - called name 
not present"), then with a password request.  I hit 'return' and it came 
up with a list of the shares on the XP machine.

So it seems that the Linux machine can see the Windows one.  Now, where 
should I be looking to find the XP machine's shares in some sort of file 
manager window?
