[Samba] Update: Slow browsing/reading from WinXP SP2

I stumbled onto another tidbit that may shed some more light. From the
new laptop, I tried to create a new folder on the 'samba' share. It
fails with the following error message:
"Unable to create the folder 'New Folder'. Access is denied"
It obviously looks like a permissions issue, but what? I did not have
to make any changes to my other laptop (upgraded from XP standard to
SP2), and it can create directories on the 'samba' share just fine.
Thanks,
Jim
