That's probaly not going to help. But it does explain why some of my
wan clients try to connect to one of my samba servers on port 80.

Well, I just set it on my box here, and I am still having the slow network browsing. I
still think it has something to do with the way I'm logging in. Since guest is the
default in XP i have to put user name in the path:
\\fileserver\share\passprotectedshare%user and then enter in password, even though
login says guest, that method tricks XP into thinking that user is logging in and not
guest. My thoughts are unbased, but I have a hunch. Opinions?
Anyone have experience with disabling this or leaving it enabled and seeing a difference? Just curious. Actually, extremely curious!
