More Mapped Drive (SMB) Slowness!!

It's been a while since I've been on.

Anyway, here is what I am trying to do.

I have a FreeBSD server running Samba which has all of my music shared. On XP and iTunes, everything is fine and the network is very fast. But using the Mac (10.4), sometimes, I will get the spinning circle for 5 MINUTES then things will be fine again.

Any clues?

Thanks!

There were some issues with SMB on Tiger. Have you updated to the latest version through Software Update? The latest 10.4.x versions might have fixed the issues with SMB that you are experiencing.

Check the link below for the situations you are experiencing:

Post back with results.
 
Yeah, I am at the newest. I will check out that link and keep looking. I wonder if it is some Kerberos timeout issue???
