Add port 139 as default for shared smb connections in Snow Leopard?

Hi,

I have a windows server 2008 with some shares. My clients are snow leopard. When connecting the authentication is very slow (+- 20 seconds). I discovered in this thread that adding the default smb port number 139 solves this issue.

smb://server:139

However, the default shared list in Finder does not have a port number added (smb://server). So connecting in a Finder window is still slow. The only way for me connecting fast is to go to the Finder menu > Go > Connect with server, and add the port number 139 (smb://server:139).

Is there a way that Snow Leopard adds automatically port 139 to the smb shares he finds? Thanks in advance

Also tried that one. Not a solution.
In that case until apple release a solution I think you're stuck. We've tried the available workarounds with no effect.
