Linux Question

I have a fairly new SLES 10.0 OS running on a Sun x2100 box, which 
replaced a RH 8.0/Dell server, (which worked absolutely great). Both 
servers do/did the same basic functions-file server/SAMBA and very 
little else. One problem on my new server however, is that all the 
logins/logoffs on XP clients at a remote branch (connected via VPN to 
main branch-different subnet) take extremely long (4-15 minutes!) to 
load/save user settings. With the RH server there were no delays like 
this.  I suspect a NetBIOS issue, but have that enabled in smb.conf on 
the new server (pretty much config same as the old smb.conf).

Any suggestions?
