Make sure your Qube is patched all the way up to at least OS 6.4 - this has a newer version of Samba on it that can deal with the encrypted passwords in Win2K/XP. Older Qube OS (6.2 or 6.0) can only handle "plain text" passwords in Win95/98.

Also make sure that the username you're trying to use is actually a member of the home group (remember that 'home' is able to read/write the "base" website on the Qube, and membership in the group is not automatic).
