I'm able to share a folder from Ubuntu through Samba, but no windows system is allowed to do anything but look at the folder. All systems are on the same subnet and same Workgroup.
 
Check the settings in /etc/samba/smb.confThe user logged in to the XP machine possibly hasn't got appropriate rights for the directory access.
 
Go to the System menu.Select "Administration"Select "Shared Folders"Select your share, and click "Properties"De-select "Read Only"You may need to ensure that you have a user set up on the Ubuntu system with the same username you're using on the Windows client.
