[Samba] error message after long connect with windows client(s)

[todd at nhaparts.com]

I am running Samba version 2.2 on RH9 with a 800mhz w/ 384 SDRAM.

My Windows XP clients can connect and map my shares to drives on their
machines with no problems, but sometimes after being connected for a
couple days they suddenly cannot access the share. They receive an error
message stating that it cannot connect to the server.

This is only solved by rebooting the RH server, which is problematic
because this is in an office with around 8 clients and it also runs the
web and email server.

Any help would be *greatly* appreciated.
