smb browse so slow

I am running suse 10. I was wondering way smb browse is so slow.
No firewall on the client.
When I use nautils or konqueror and use "smb://ipaddress or hostname"
the browsningis very slow at first. But when I are contected the file
browse is fats. It is just when connect that this is slow. It can take
up to 4 minutes to get connected to the machine.
I am connecting to Active Directory machine.
The suse machine is not configured with samba client..
