hi
i m using the script below
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
iptables -F
iptables -t nat -F
iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 22   -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 53   -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p udp --dport 53   -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p udp --dport 137  -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p udp --dport 138  -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 139  -j ACCEPT

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i have two shares on samba server "Soft and linux" in these shares there are 
many folders. whenever i run the above script and then i open the share it 
takes atleast 4  minutes to open the share. but it doesnt take time while 
browsing inside share.
mean there is a folder on soft share like soft/adobe/acrobat/acrobat6
when i double click on soft it takes atleast 4 minutes but after that when i 
click on adobe then acrobat then acrobat6 it takes now time it just browse 
them normally. same problem is with the other share named linux.
but if i dont run this script then all shares work fine with no delay
this problem only occures first time. mean when i browse the share next time 
it doesnt occur

Regards
Azeem
