A broken pipe indicates a general connection problem.  By it self it is 
not useful to tell you what the problem is.

I would try the nmblookup (OpenVMS), NET VIEW (DOS Command prompt) tests 
to see if you can get information that way.

There is a file diagnostic.txt that should be in the SAMBA distribution 
that describes how isolate some of these problems.  You can get a copy 
of it at http://www.samba.org.

The other thing to do is to increase the error level for the SMBD 
process.  Previous versions of SAMBA allowed this to be done by defining 
a SYSTEM wide logical.

SAMBA 2.0.6 allows the smbd process to be run interactively so that 
these tests can be more easily run.  I do not know if the SAMBA 2.2.x 
branch has this ability.
