samba - Sep 2000 - Win 2000 shares?

I've been having problems of slowness and hung processes when working over a
samba connection to a Windows 2000 share.  Since there has been no
difficulty with NT 4 or Windows 98 samba shares, it appears possibly due to
a bug.  

Do you have confirmation of this, or should I look more closely at other
issues to account for the problem?

What are you using to connect? (smbclient, smbmount? which side is client?)

What samba version? If not 2.0.7, start with upgrading.
(2.0.7 adds workarounds for win2k bugs, as I understand it :)

Have you searched the archives for messages on win2k and bad samba
performance? I think someone else has brought this up.
