Hi, I have a Samba 3.0.9 server on Linux 2.6.9 (Fedora Core 3) that serves WinMe and WinXP SP2 clients wonderfully. I have recently bought a new laptop however that is not playing nicely. Samba for this laptop is responding *very* slowly when browsing or reading files on either the 'samba' or 'jimhome' shares. The new laptop has Win XP SP2 pre-installed. I have its Windows firewall completely turned off and for the moment, the virus scanner too.
The funny thing is that my other laptop is also WinXP SP2 (upgraded from stock XP via Windows Update) and doesn't have any performance issues with it. I'm stumped. Any tips greatly appreciated!
