This probably shouldn't be any problem.
You should check if this line
   encrypt passwords = yes
is found in the /etc/smb.conf file
Did you set the qube to be a wins server?
If not, what is in the text box?
I switch on the "be a wins server" because I don't have one on my lan.

And ofcourse it needs to play nice with my other samba server.

Yup, see the example in /etc/smb.conf
Don't forget to restart samba after making changes.
  /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart

You will have to tell me a bit more of your Lan.
What does it look like?
What subnet, IP adresses, gateway are you using.
You have a router some where? Cable modem?
DSL? The Cube with Masquerading.

Are you _SURE_ that you did _NOT_ install a winsock proxy client for MS 
Proxy server!!
If so uninstall it NOW. A lot of stuff breaks (I experienced it myself).
I also think the proxy performance itself is poor. Separate from the fact 
that the winsock proxy client is a kludge and made my admin day grumpy. >:-|
It is highly possible that if it is installed, samba won't work well either.
This feeling crept in after reading your .sig

Saying that it does not work does not help me help you get rid of your 
problem. :-)

Bye
