Windows 98/NT clients have all sorts of stupid WINS related bugs. Basically, here, users always moan that on NT, a "Network is too slow" dialog pops up all the time. This turned out to be mis-configured NT boxes. Check the client configs again and knock the wotsit parameter (TM) on the Samba server - The election winning probability one (cant remeber the name) to something silly high. This seemed to kill it for a while but it's back again recently. It seems to be fighting with the NT servers a bit.
