Here's information I found provided by another MVP:

KB885250, an update from 2/8/2005 can cause file and printer sharing
problems under Windows networking and SAMBA.

XP SP2 clients seem unaffected, the issue surfacing for XP SP1 clients
with this hotfix applied. If your attempt to use SMB shares seems
compromised after last week's hotfixes, remove KB885250.

See this MS Knowledge Base article:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms05-011.mspx

Check in the section "Vulnerability Details, Workarounds" for several
approaches to providing the protection of the hotfix without using the
hotfix.
