Meaning 2.2.2?

I'm using FreeBSD 4.4/Samba 2.2.1a with W2K in one installation and I'm not
seeing any problems.
Does the machine panic?  If so, the panic messages would be useful.  If it's
not panicing, it's likely to be a hardware problem.  You may have better luck
posting your hardware config to freebsd-questions at freebsd.org to see if
that's where the problem is originating.

In any case, more details will be needed before anyone can really help you
much with this.
