getpeername failed. Error was Transport endpoint is not connected

Good Afternoon,

I have Samba 2.2.1a running on a SPARC Solaris 2.7. All of a sudden I'm
having a problem with one PC mapping Samba drives. In the log file for
this PC I get the following error messages:

[2001/12/11 12:47:22, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_socket(565)
  write_socket: Error writing 4 bytes to socket 8: ERRNO = Broken pipe

I searched the Internet and the only reference I get to this indicates the
problem can arise if the PC crashes/reboots during a connection and Samba
gets confused. No suggested solution.

I've tried restarting both the smbd and nmbd. No change. Any suggestions?

TIA.
