No expert here but:
My samba system doesn't listen on port 135, as far as I can tell using
netstat -an
What do you see with netstat -an | grep 135 ?
Second, could you configure your system to listen on port 135 for UDP
packets, say with ipchains, and REJECT them, not DENY them.
The REJECT command notifies the sender that the packet has been rejected.
That might make the sender switch over to TCP without the 2 minute wait.
Your log seems to suggest that you are sending notification, but maybe
REJECT might be more definitive.
You might even try REJECTing all packets to port 135 and see if your client
will function ok.
BTW, my /etc/services doesn't list any assignment for port 135, so this
might be a Microsoft enhancement.
