Try making sure that the 'name' of the client which is connecting is
resolvable by the Samba server; maybe add it to the /etc/hosts on the
Samba server? Many TCP services do a reverse-DNS lookup to see who is
connecting, and if the client's IP cannot be reverse-resolved, then a
very long timeout ensues. This may not be your problem, your system's
behavior reminds me of similar (non-Samba) situations.
