My opinion is that the best way to slove this problem is to figure out what
is causing it and then fix whatever is broken.

One random thought is to look at the "socket options" parameter in smb.conf
and enable SO_KEEPALIVE  ...or perhaps use the "keepalive" parameter.  I
don't know if these will fix anything because I can't tell from where I sit
what the problem really is.  I can't offer you any solutions if I don't know
what is actually wrong.  I can only offer guesses.

Good luck.
