If you are getting 2 minute delays connecting to a Samba share, You have
networking problems, not Samba problems. The most likely explanation is you
have a DNS lookup failure which is timing out. Try putting the IP address
of your NT workstation in /etc/hosts. If this doesn't fix things, you may
have a problem elsewhere in the network. If your Samba configuration is
wrong, the connection request will usually fail within a second or two.
