Could you post the contents of your smb.conf file (hopefully its not too lengthy!)?

I regularly map from Windows XP to Linux servers via Samba, and don't have any "mangling" options set within smb.conf - and all is well.

EDIT

Try explicitly defining (in the [global] section)
mangled names = no
within smb.conf

According to the smb.conf manpage mangled names is set to yes by default.

You'll probably need to restart smbd after the edit

Cheers
ZB

If your running Slackware 9, did you update samba? There has been a few updates with Slackware 10 and also in Slackware-current.

Changelog from Slackware current lists a few samba updates. This does not include the changes from 9.0 to 10
Quote:
(Samba-3.0.7-i486-2.tgz: Applied a patch from Samba CVS needed to fix smbtree on systems using a recent glibc (such as the one here in Slackware -current).

(Samba-3.0.7-i486-1.tgz: This fixes two Denial of Service vulnerabilities. )

(Samba-3.0.5-i486-1.tgz: This fixes a buffer overflow in SWAT and another in the code supporting the 'mangling method = hash' smb.conf option (which is not the default).
Unofficial updates, since Pat is not well, there have been some other people contributing security updates & bugfixes.

samba-3.0.9-i486-1.tgz: Upgrade to samba-3.0.9-i486-1.
A possible buffer overrun in smbd could lead to code execution by a remote user

If your running KDE, you can make Samba changes from kcontrol -> Internet & Network -> Samba Configuration
