Topic: mounting SME shares on linux PC is slow

[john3568541]

--------
a SME ibay
/bin/mount -t smbfs -o username=john,password=secret //local/data /home/john/local/data

works, but it takes 5+ minutes
-------
a windows share
/bin/mount -t smbfs -o username=john,password=secret //x26-john/win4lin /home/john/local/win4lin

works in 2 seconds
----------

why is it so slow
can it be speeded up

What happens if you use an IP address rather than a name.

Like

mount -t smbfs -o username=jason,password=secret //10.0.0.21/myob /mnt/share
