the problem has been partially soved by REJECTing or ACCEPTing the port 445. the effect of ACCEPTing or REJECTing is same and that is:
as i stated before that i have two shares named soft and linux. the problem appeares while accessing both shares for the first time (note only for the first time. if i close the share and then triy again the problem doesnt occur unless i restart my client computer) now the problem has been partially solved as if i access one of the two shares it takes 4 minutes but if then i access the 2nd share it doent take time. while before adding this rule it was talking time for the both shares

i have two shares on samba server "Soft and linux" in these shares there are many folders. whenever i run the above script and then i open the share it takes atleast 4 minutes to open the share. but it doesnt take time while browsing inside share.
mean there is a folder on soft share like soft/adobe/acrobat/acrobat6
when i double click on soft it takes atleast 4 minutes but after that when i click on adobe then acrobat then acrobat6 it takes now time it just browse them normally. same problem is with the other share named linux.
but if i dont run this script then all shares work fine with no delay
this problem only occures first time. mean when i browse the share next time it doesnt occur
This is a complete shot in the dark. Windows 2000 (probably) and XP (definately) will look for a SMB server on port 445 first by default. Since you have '-j DROP', the requests to 445 don't get a response. It takes a little bit to timeout and then Windows probably tries to connect again. I bet if you add the following iptables rule, the problem will go away:
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p all --dport 445 -j REJECT
Okay, so you can change that REJECT to ACCEPT.
