Way back I had similar problems getting Windows ME to play correctly with the rest of the Samba network. Win98 and Win2K machines worked flawlessly. After many hours of teeth gnashing, switching cables, checking duplex settings, configuring TCP_NO_DELAY and adjusting window sizes, moving to a switched hub, disabling some authentication, etc., etc., I was able to fix the problem by mapping a network drive.
