smbclient doesn't need samba. Here is how I would trouble shoot this:
smbclient -d9 -L netbiosname > junklog Look for lmhosts in junklog. smbclient will try to find your netbios name with: lmhosts hosts wins broadcast in that order by default. Hosts is DNS or /etc/host Look to see if the log tells you if found your XP computer. I would also read DIAGNOSIS.txt. If smbclient found the XP computer, the log should also give you a clue as to why the connection failed.
