Subsequent SMB volumes are VERY slow to mount

[Colin Gilham]

27" iMac Intel i5 + 10.6.6

I mount a SMB server volume and it mounts very quickly and is perfectly fine. But every subsequent volume I mount from the same server takes up to a minute to mount. It happens as guest and as authenticated user, and whether or not the password has been saved in the keychain. I have two Win 2003 servers and the same happens on both.

Interestingly I have ExtremeZ-IP running on one of the servers and I have no such issues connecting via those volumes - all volumes mount straight away.

It's not the end of the world but it shouldn't happen and I have four volumes set to mount at login on one particular server so I'd like to sort it if i can.

Anyone have any ideas?
