I've had this problem before. Other protocols work OK (not great, but OK), but Samba is gets modem speeds on a fast ethernet connection. I've had some success in the past by manually specifying the network speed and duplexing. See "man hostname.if" for info on how to do that (pay particular attention to the example "dhcp media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex").
