This really sounds like a dns (/etc/resolv.conf) problem. All the above
services, except the web will do at least one DNS lookup (generally a
reverse lookup). A timeout on a DNS lookup is very very long.
On the offending host, do this
nslookup IP-number-of-one-windows-machine
This should report immediatly a name, or that it does not know the answer.
On your system, it will lock there for a good while.
So either, fix your DNS so it does the right thing for reverse lookup, or
make sure that the linux box points to the DNS (linuxconf/networking/name
server specification).
This is the key. Unless you fix the DNS problem, expect all kind of weird
performance problem.
