Hello Andrew,

I've run a similar configuration for evaluation purposes some
months ago without any problem:
  Server: 
  - Sun SPARCstation 20/e
  - Solaris 2.4 and 2.5.1
  - Samba 1.9.18p8
  - Subnet Mask 255.255.254.0
  Client:
  - NT4sp3
  - Thunderbyte AntiVirus 8.05

You did not mention the samba version you have upgraded from.
But maybe this may help you.
