What that be on the server side (Linux) or on the client side (NT)?
I have exactly the same problem, even worse: when I'm browsing my homedir
from the samba-server it takes ages to show something. I'm using a 64kbit
ISDN line which is very reliable and fast for everything else I do... except
the "Microsoft Network".
