Try changing the above parameters.

Eliminate, or comment out:
===========================================
# socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=16384 SO_RCVBUF=16384
===========================================

Change the rest to either:
===========================================
security = user
os level = 32
domain master = no
# preferred master = yes
===========================================
or preferably this:
===========================================
security = user
os level = 32
domain master = yes
preferred master = yes
===========================================

You can still have guest shares with security = user, see:

The smb.conf man page states that preferred master is best used with
domain master. It doesn't hurt to have a domain controller even you
don't join any systems to it.
