Windows XP Pro clients are timing out when attempting to use either a file or printer share on my Samba 3.0.5 server. Any graphical application will fall into a seemingly endless timeout when attempting to access the Samba server. Print jobs will stay in the XP print queue for as much as 1/2 hour, and then print normally. The odd thing is that access from any non-graphical application (cmd.exe) on the XP clients is instantaneous. Two XP Pro workstations (version 2002, SP1) are exhibiting this behaviour. The rest of the company (Win2k, Win98, Win95, WinNT) is working fine. There are no other XP workstations on the network. The Samba server was upgraded from 2.2.8a last Friday. The upgrade worked fine for two working days before this problem showing up today. Included below are many of the specifics of my installation, and current log file excerpts for your scrutiny. Thanks in advance for any help you may provide.
