Indeed, when specifying the port number in the mount command: /sbin/mount.cifs //[ip address server]/[share name] /[mount point] \ -o user=[user name],password=[password],rw,port=139 a share is mounted instantaneously. This would suggest that the delay results from contacting the server first at port 445 and only after that at port 139. Samba servers are listening to ports 445 and 139 by default. However, most authors recommend to keep firewall port 445 closed, e.g. http://en.opensuse.org/Firewall_on_simple_samba_LAN. Opening this port in the server firewall, or specifying port=139 in the mount.cifs command on the client, removes the delay, in my hands at least..... I have been using OpenSUSE 10.3 a lot and never encountered this behaviour then. Perhaps, one of the samba developers corrected the mount.cifs command to make it behave in accordance with the man page.
