I think at this stage our samba problems are related to reverse DNS,
because every time our internet connection goes down, samba doesn't work
properly.

Our reverse DNS is controlled by our ISP, not us (though we're getting
this changed).

Local conditions are killing us, we were hit by a highveld thunderstorm
that blew up our leased line, router, firewall and almost all of our
hubs - we still have not recovered. :(
