need help with network

[Paul Mooring]

How are you trying to copy files and what are you authenticating
against?  I'm guessing from what you wrote you have 4 computers on the
network: Mint, Ubuntu, XP, and IBM (UNIX or something?), and your
trying to share resources using SMB.  I would also probably assume XP
is appending something else to your username, as in you type 'user' it
sends 'MYCOMP\user'.  If this is for some quick and dirty file
transfer I would use smbclient and forget nautilius, if it's an
ongoing issue you could think about using samba for centralized
authentication.
