[Samba] Slow access when opening shares

[josh dickens]

Hey,
 
I have slow access when I first open shares. If I reboot my XP box and then
go to access a share, it takes a good 10 seconds for files to come up, even
after I've typed in my username and password. Once accessed it runs fine and
is fast. But, if I don't access it for 30 minutes, when I access it again it
sits for like 10 good seconds before it does anything. This is very
annoying.
 
I also have a Mac running OSX 10.3.5, when accessing the samba shares from
the Mac it's fine, there's no slowdown whatsoever. It asks me for username
and password, then just speeds right along.
 
Samba is the only software installed on this BSD system. It has a static ip
of 10.0.0.100. 
 
System: Freebsd 4.10, Duron 900mhz, 512 RAM, 120 gig hd
Version: samba-2.2.8a_2 (Installed via FreeBSD Ports)
 
smb.conf:
 
[global]
 
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = Server
netbios name = Server
#hosts allow = 10.0.0. 127.
load printers = no
guest account = me
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
security = share
encrypt passwords = no
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE
#local master = yes
#os level = 255
#domain master = yes
#preferred master = yes
#wins support = yes
dns proxy = no
 
[share]
comment = my files
path = /my path
writeable = Yes
guest ok = yes

tcpdump when first accessing the share from XP after rebooting the machine,
this is where it takes a good 10 to 15 seconds for the shares to come up:

Also, in XP under my TCP/IP protocol settings, under advanced, WINS, I have
NetBIOS setting to 'Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP'

Thanks for any help you can throw my way,

Josh
