In readme it says that file is to be named: "mc0:/SMS/SMS.smb",
apart from the name, what you got looks good to me.

- create SMS.smb text file in a text editor. This file must contain
exactly 5 lines in the following order:
- IP address of the SMB server (ex. 192.168.0.3);
- name of the SMB server (ex. MyServer);
- name of the PS2 (arbitrary) (ex. MyPS2);
Note: I'm not 100% sure about it, maybe this name
must be listed in 'hosts'/'lmhosts' file;
- user name used for authentication (ex. eugene);
- user password used for authentication (ex. myPassword);
Note 1: blank password is not allowed;
Note 2: - "for individuals that think that harm is occurring, or
is going to occur, to him or her"
- "for individuals that think the persecutor has the
intention to cause harm"
PASSWORD IS ONE WAY ENCRYPTED BEFORE ITS TRANSMISSION TO
THE SMB SERVER ONLY IF THE SERVER SUPPORTS SUCH A FEATURE
(at least Windows XP Pro(SP2) and Samba on Libux/Debian do
support this (please, don't consider this as advertisement));
- make sure that IP address is correct;
- make sure that SMB server name is correct;
- make sure that SMB server allows connections (i.e. review firewall/router
settings);
- make sure that user whose credentials supplied in SMS.smb has appropriate
access rights to connect to the SMB server;
- copy this file to mc0:/SMS folder;
- start SMS; If 'autostart network' option is active, then
deactivate it, save settings and restart SMS;
- goto SMS menu -> Device settings;
- select SMB/CIFS network protocol;
- start network support;

Does WinXP Home support advanced sharing? (I thought it only supports simplified sharing) - it's needed to make this SMB client work.

AFAIK, it can be enabled/changed in recovery mode or by registry edit - but I'm not sure, I've never been using WinXP Home.
