[Samba] XP is very slow to access Samba

[Yvon Dubinsky]

    I have a linux sever running it is version 2.6.20-2936.fc7xen.   The 
samba version is Version 3.0.27-0.fc7.   My problem is XP and Windows 2k 
Machines connect very slow to the mapped drives.   It does not matter if 
they are connected as the IP (\\192.168.100.32\*) or a mapped drive in 
the Windows Host file (Sambasales\*).  Has anyone else had these 
problems, and if so what did you do to fix it.   Thanks  in advance,

Yvon
