[Samba] Re: Huge delays on login/first access from WinXP clients on samba 3.0.4 PDC

[Randy S]

I have a winxp slowdown problem which seems to go away when I turn 
iptables off. My situation is different, but it's a worth a shot just to 
see. I get a 20 sec directory listing delay with WinXP only, Win2k is 
fine, and it only happens intermittantly.
