When you untar the source file, you will have a file called WinXP_SignOrSeal.reg in the following directory /samba-2.2.7/docs/Registry
In XP use the Start Menu, Run and in the dialog, run this file WinXP_SignOrSeal.reg and it will make the necessary changes to your XP registry to allow you to have the WinXP machine join the Samba domain. This is a requirement and this is the "patch" I mentioned.

I had problems when I tried to change the passwords to unencrypted and am using the server with encrypted passwords.
