The problem may be your on a hub. As all the network traffic is broadcasted. Try pulling a small switch from somewhere and see the difference in speed. Also what is your wins configuration?
Just a thought

I am really not sure if this is a samba problem or what, but is starting to annoy me. Here is what is happening.
Server 1: Squid,squidguard,dansguardian,iptables (This is firewall/filter) Server2: Samba (used for file storage and squid authentification) Clients are Windows 98. A few XP's.
Everything has run fine for almost 2 years. The other day when trying to log on to the internet, it would wait about 20 seconds and return me to my logon prompt. This was for almost every user. I have one generic user that got on all the time. Another user started getting on after about 5 tries and was then able to authenticate each time. The rest still did not authenticate.
When I do:
smb_auth -W DOMAIN -p sambasip -d
it makes it to the last and gives an ERR when giving the contents of //server/netlogon/proxyauth. All the rights are correct and it contains the word allow, nothing has changed this for 2 years so it should be correct.
When I do: echo "more proxyauth" | smbclient //server/netlogon -U user It gives me the contents of proxyauth fine.
I have also noticed that logons start to slow down during the day. First thing in the morning they are fast, but then a little later it will take about 25 seconds before running my logon scripts. School is out, so there are only about 5 people actually here, so it is not bogging down the network. I ran a sniffer and all the traffic looks alright. My authentification will work for a while and then later in the day, it will stop again. I take authentification out of squid and then everything gets on the net fine.
I thought that maybe it was a network problem. So I put 1 WS and the Samba server on a hub by themselves and it is still slow to logon. I thought that maybe it was the NIC, but I realized that SSHing into my firewall has slowed down also. So this makes me wonder exactly what is going on. If anyone has any ideas of what to look at, I would greatly appreciate any advice.
