I've been using XBMC Nov 04 edition on XP-sp2 with no probs. I haven't done anything special on xp side in terms of shares, etc. I have my folder shared that contains my mp3s, movies, etc.
Right click on folder to share, sharing, share this folder - nothing special here. I use zonealarm for a firewall - added ip range to trusted - in my case ip address of xbox is 192.168.1.200 so added 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.254 to the range. Everything great
Today, MS released new security updates and they screwed up the sharing. Restored to yesterday and all ok.
So my point - see if you have the latest updates that were released Dec 14/15 and remove them to see what happens.

Well technically they go by dates now instead of version numbers.
1.1 was like middle of October.

woohoo, it workes. i had disabled simple file sharing a while ago. i turned it back on but forgot that i did, so i assume that it was still disabled. when i put in the samba thing, it works like a charm. It works better than i had expected. thanks you all so much for walking me through it. i thought it was hopeless.
Yes, I have XP and SP2 and it works perfectly. The trick is in the "xboxmediacenter.xml" or "xbmc.xml", depending on which dashboard you're using. Look for this section:scoobaman said:
<bookmark>
<name>Videos on My Computer</name>
<!-- You can use one of these following formats: !-->
<!-- smb://domain;user
[email protected]/share/directory/ !--><!-- smb://user
[email protected]/share/ !--><!-- Only if guest/public access is enabled: !-->
<!-- smb://ip/ !-->
<path>smb://MSHOME;Username
[email protected] Computer/My Videos/</path></bookmark>
Everything between <!-- and !--> is a comment, and ignored. The important part is after the <path> line. Using the above line as an example, change "MSHOME" to whatever your network's workgroup or domain name is, change the "Username" and "password" to a valid username and password account on your computer, change "My Computer" to your computer's network name, and change "My Videos" to the name of the shared folder on your computer. I then commented out all the other ones like the XBMSP Network shares, etc. Repeat this for the Videos, Pictures, and Music sections, make sure the shared folders on your computer have the same share name and it will work. The "no access" message is because you don't have a valid username and password in the file that matches a username and password on your computer. Also, there is a section at the top of the xml file that will let you set a default username and password that should apply to every section of the xml file. I put the same one in everywhere just in case. Oh, and one other thing - use the FTP server on the X3 chip, not one of the ones in a dashboard. That way you'll be sure the xml file you're trying to write to the xbox is not currently in use.
Here's my solution;
I have alot of computer at my place and this is what i've found:
on XP sp2, if you are not familiar with the firewall, disable the firewall, then you must enable guest account, grant guest account read rights to the directory you wish to share: Go into Local security settings, then Local Policies, then Security Options, then disable Accounts: limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only.
(please note: i have tried sharing specific directorys and i cannot see them with my xbox at all, and i kinda narrowed it down to the names of the folders. If they are all 1 word shares then it sees it fine.)
I have not spent alot of time trying to configure it different ways yet. ( It's christmas time)
on XP sp1 it worked right away. It would see my shares fine.
As what flyboydave said, that should work also, just make sure you use a username that exists on your computer.

Hopefully they dont release anything till the end of the year after the next ban wave otherwise there will probably be quite a few new 360's floating around
