We're using MS TCP/IP, the Lanman DOS version and 3c509 cards at both ends.
Using samba on linux is much faster than WFWG at both ends for us. 

We can run diskless machines of a linux box, however recently performance
has become unacceptable on the diskless machines. I've just posted to
comp.os.smb about this. 

Briefly:
>After 2000 packets have been transmitted 
>smbd stops taking up large slices of CPU (use top to see this effect)
>CPU utilisation drops drops from ¬60% to 4-10%,performance 
>(throughput) drops significantly and ifconfig on eth0 starts to show 
>dropped recieved packets.
