[Samba] Problems usign samba with Windows XP Pro

[John Snowdon]

Go into a client machine and try turning off the 'Webclient' service. We
just had the same problem after a campus wide Windows Update was
applied.

Precisely 3 minutes between opening a share and it appearing on the
desktop. Every time. 

Turning off 'webclient' brought Samba performance back to normal.
