samba - May 2000 - speed of samba

I have finish setting up samba on a Freebsd machine.  Everything is working
great except where I try to access the server through the Network
Neighborhood on the NT network.  It takes up to about 5 minutes before it
can access the folders on the server or download or upload files.

What could be my problem(s)?

To List:

It seems very slow to display share contents after double clicking on a 
share icon. Any fix?

Sometimes this is a name resolving issue, too.  My Samba configuration was
such that the server was going to DNS first every time it wanted to look up
a name, *then* going to the WINS server.  I reversed that and it sped things
up a bit.

Your local net browser probably doesn't have 'browse' access to your
samba
server. You should give it the ability to browse the share anonymously. I
don't know what you exactly need to do (maybe guest ok = yes is enough), but
I'm sure the samba docs cover this topic.
