As far as I know, no XP machines, or 2k or 98 need it for that matter. I haven't used that reg key in quite some time. Definately not with any recent versions of samba, like 2.2.7, the one in RH8. It's a server side requirement, that being that the server you're running defines whether or not you need it. Make sure to turn encrypted passwords on in smb.conf.

Most likely, not 100% sure but I'm confidant that this isn't in the 'safe protocol list'

/etc/sysconfig/iptables. This file is cryptic and I believe backwards in the sense you're looking for. That is, everything is blocked unless explicitly allowed. Look for a config applet, I'm sure there is but I write my own firewall rules file so I'm not sure. You can either allow 137/139 or if you're running a router box, just set allow all on the internal interface.
