Remote Access Login Delay

When logging into Samba (or onto a share), using an dialup internet modem
connection, it seems to take between 50-70 seconds to respond to a Windows
request. You can see the request leaving the modem and can count the 50-70
seconds before the modem responds from the Linux Server box. Don't see the
same problem if I telnet, ftp or ssh to the server.

Any ideas?

Using Linux Server (Mandrake 7.2) running  Samba 2.0.7-18MDK via an dialup
Internet connection using Windows 95, 98,  2000 or Appletalk as clients.
Have not connected a VPN at this stage.

Thanks,
Andrew Minett
