I'm trying to set up XP <--> OSX SMB printing
and i have the same problem (athough filesharing and domain-control  
works fine)

my log :

   timeout connecting to 192.168.123.102:139
[2005/04/08 16:09:38, 1]  
/SourceCache/samba/samba-60.1/samba/source/libsmb/cliconnect.c: 
cli_connect(1306)
   Error connecting to 192.168.123.102 (Operation already in progress)
[2005/04/08 16:09:38, 0]  
/SourceCache/samba/samba-60.1/samba/source/rpc_server/srv_spoolss_nt.c: 
spoolss_connect_to_client(2583)
   spoolss_connect_to_client: unable to connect to SMB server on machine  
ALIEN01. Error was : SUCCESS - 0.

wich looks quite similar switching the windows firewall on or of does  
not help.


Since OSX is some sort of BSD I thought that what helps you could help  
me.

my config :
