[Samba] Directory listing delay with WinXP and IPtables

[azeem ahmad]

hi friend.
that is what i m wondering about for a while. and listen i got another 
problem that if i redirect port 80 (http) to transparent proxy in PREROUTING 
then this delay approaches to a delay of 4 minutes. but if there is no rule 
for transparent redirection then it takes a delay as u specified. please let 
me know if u find the solution and i will aslo let u know if i find any 
problem

Regards
Azeem
