[Samba] XP needs ~30seconds to open network share

[Noel Kelly]

Make sure you have not inadvertently enabled the XP firewall on your network
interface - if you can see a small padlock on the icon in Network
COnncections, check the Security tab in Properties.

Alos, check your IP Security Policies inside Security Policy in Control
Panel/Admin Tools - look for XP defaulting to using encryption etc.  Set it
to open.


Might help?

There could be some dns problems, or nmbd might not be running, but it 
should not take that long unless the server is really loaded.
