F11 Samba intermittent & sluggish

I have two Fedora 11 boxes here (installed from the i686 Live CD) and
each of them has a single Samba share that is supposed to be
accessible to everyone. I set both boxes up the same way, creating the
shares something like this:

[root at box /]# mkdir /srv/public_samba
[root at box /]# chmod go+w,t /srv/public_samba
[root at box /]# service smb start
[root at box /]# service nmb start
[root at box /]# system-config-samba &

and added my share, specifying my share path, share name, and checked
the "Writable" (sic) and "Visible" boxes and "Allow access for
everyone". Under "Server Settings" I left the defaults except that I
selected "nobody" for the guest account.

Using system-config-firewall I opened up my smb ports, though I shut
it down just to make sure I didn't have a firewall problem. Now, when
I test the shares using smbclient from any machine on my network or
even the machine hosting the share I have intermittent results. Check
out the attached session. Anyone else having this sort of problem?
