In the local security policy of the XP Pro client (or in GPO that
affects the client if in domain) check that the machine is allowed
to use NTLM v2 in the Lan Manager policy setting within the
Security Settings in the Computer branch, or that it is at least
allowed to use a protocol that agrees with what the server allows.
Similarly check the settings for Digitally signing communications
and for Secure channel - so that server and client can find an
allowed combination in common between them.
