i started using smb first with |darkie's new 3.01 implementation and i discovered that on my network it takes 4-5 seconds for the "first contact"/lookup when i first choose smb. after the first lookup, there's no such delays = it's rapid.

is this something that can be tweaked away, or a known problem?

sounds like a dns/wins lookup
same thing happens when i browse from machina a->machine b under windows xp btw

i also used to have some issue like that with xp. i disabled the web client in the services of windows xp and after that browsing was fast.

worth a shot..

none of the tweaks helped, so i tried to replace computername with the ip of said computer and voila, now it's instantaneous!
