Thanks for the heads up, we'll be adding "net stop webclient" to our login scripts.

I can't comment on most of your issue, but for this one I do have some advice:

I don't know whether this will be of any use in debugging, When I do a
net use on the XP box, and monitor the IP flow, I see traffic destined
to port 80 on the Linux box from the XP box.


I can't remember exactly what the proper term is for this, but it is the webclient service in XP doing that. It can cause some performance problems if not dealt with, so you have two basic options. 1. Disable the webclient service on the XP box. This stops the requests entirely.
2. Set up a web server on the linux box. This provides something that will give an explicit no when the XP machine comes looking for data rather than waiting for a timeout. I usually do this one because it's quicker for me to set up a basic web server than turn off every client in the network.
