The samba issue could be relevant, but there is too much going on here to be sure.
You said that the connection trace is shorter. What is the last packet you see during the Linux connection, and what is the next packet during the successful connection? That will tell me where in the connection process things stop working. As I noted earlier (and I believe Steve noted as well) it looks like there may be a reverse DNS lookup failure. Modifying /etc/hosts only helps if /etc/hosts is used (the other possibility is that the Linux box is using the DNS server and ignoring its /etc/hosts file). The file /etc/nsswitch.conf will tell you how this is set up. This is a short file so if you aren't sure how to interpret it attach it to an email and we will take a look at it. Back to the samba problem, the first thing to check is whether the directory is exported for read/write rather than read only.
