I didn't know this parameter and will check it out.

Just to try, I have assigned fixed IP addresses to the samba server and
clients. Now everything is fine, so I guess it really has something to do
with lookup of name vs IP. Since I also use laptops that I like to keep using
DHCP for I'll further investigate the issue but at least have a clue now to
what I should be looking for.
Thanks,
