The network cards are realteks, to be more spesific the box is a Watchguard Firebox X.

For some reason, the samba server works just fine from Trusted, or more spesifically from behind the SonicWall. The issue is present for all clients connected to Medium Trust.
Thus it is very unlikley the issue is the cable, or the nics; if it were a hardware problem the clients behind the SonicWall would work in the same matter, and the server would still exhibit the same symptoms if I connected directy to the Medium Trust VLAN, and it does not. Why it works flawlessly from behind the SonicWall I do not have any clues to. It should be noted that I have tried multiple computers, all running different configurations, hardware as well as distrobutions (I have however not tried with Windows, since I do not have any pc's running that readily avaliable).
It could obviously be a routing issue, however nothing points to this, and every other service beyond samba works just fine.
There are no logs on the samba server that would point to any issues, but the dmesg on the clients are filled to the brink with random samba errors, but nothing really useful there either.
