[Samba] Win XP hangs on file open dialog

Mates,

    I have been watching a developing problem over the past few weeks. Most 
likely a M$ patch to XP that has caused problems. What happens is that XP 
clients try to open the standard "File" -> "Open" dialog (like in word, or 
whatever) and the file open dialog hangs and stops responding for 15 seconds 
or so. I have captured this occurence with ethereal and included the packet 
summary below. The 80 packets below represent the 23 second hang. I am 
running 3.0.7. Does anybody have any idea what could be happening?

    Note the 3 second delay between packet 27 & 28. It also appears that XP 
does some dns caching that is persistant during shutdown and restart. I have 
the laptop at home right now, but you can see the NBNS packets still looking 
for "Nemesis" and "Bonza" which are two samba servers at work. Go figure??

    Any ideas what is happening or how to fix it??

No.     Time        Source                Destination           Protocol
