Samba within a network IP over ATM

Hello,
I'm having problems using SAMBA servers within an IP over ATM network.
I'm using experimental IP addresses (net 192.168.28.0), Linux servers with
the 2.2.1 kernel version and RedHat 5.2, Win95 and WinNt 4.0 client
machines.
The problem is, through Ethernet everything works the way it should. Using
ATM and keeping the Ethernet cables connected somehow the data flows through
the ATM network but during the establishment of the connections (eg: during
the mapping of a Linux area into a PC network drive) Ethernet is used.
Disconnecting the Ethernet cables and trying to map a network drive the
procedure takes several minutes (3 or 4), then the passwork is asked, a few
minutes more pass and finally evrything works correctly.
I've tryed several configurations on the file smb.conf but without success.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance,
    Carlos
