Re: XP is very slow to access Samba

[Andreas Baitis <abaitis@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've once had a dead DNS server listed in my resolv.conf on the Samba 
server which was causing exactly this problem. The dead server was a 
local one which had had it's address changed. Try checking your listed 
DNS servers if you have any, make sure they are all alive and the server 
can access them.

try:

dig google.com @mylistedDNSserver.com

from the Samba server.
