Problem accessing windows xp shares from Mac

I've got a wired 100Mbps network in the apartment for internet, file and printer sharing. 3 of the 4 computers on the network play very nicely, but my roomate's mac (tiger) has persistent problems. For instance he can see my shared folders, but can't mount any from the C drive, yet shares located on my D and E drives work perfectly. (Not that it should make a bit of difference, but C is a RAID0 array and D and E are seperate hard drives). It just comes back with the message that the original could not be found as if it were a broken alias when a share nested in C is loaded. Finally bandwidth itself seems to be highly limited, transfers over ftp or aim won't break 100K/s. None of these problems present themselves on the other two computers on the LAN, one XP, one Linux. Any ideas?

PS No it's not the network cable, switch or anything else like that.
 
OS X can't deal with nested shares, nor hidden shares.

If you don't have nested shares on the C drive, what are the Share and NTFS permissions you're using? OS X is also much more sensitive to those (and in fact, downright forces you to insecurity at times).
