Slow speed between samba 2.0.x and win2000

I'm having some trouble with my net which seems to have started when I
changed by workstation from NT4 to W2k. I have two servers running
debian with samba 2.0.7. The servers are a P100 (locutus) and an
Athlon 500 (motherbrain), and my workstation (doas-place) is a P2-350.
There is almost no other trafic on the net, which is a 100 mb/s
switched net.

Sending from locutus to motherbrain I get ~3 mb/s, the other way I get
~600 kb/s. Sending from motherbrain to doas-place I get ~3 mb/s, and
about the same the other way. Sending from locutus to my workstation I
get about 60 kb/s!

The low speed from motherbrain to locutus is strange, because there
are fast disks in it, and the CPU is about 85% idle which
downloading...

The low speed from locutus to doas-place is of course the problem...
I've tcpdumped a bit which might help... Seems like all datapackets
are 44 byte, but should be ~1k5... Is that the (only) problem and how
do I solve it?
