I have seen this alot with at least the 2.2 series, also I think the 2.0 
series.

To reproduce this do the following,

1)Setup netscape with its profile on the samba server and mapped to a drive
2)Start using netscape
3)Kill the users smbd process
4)use netscape a bit more.

Windows will reconnect the drive but it refuses to write the data.
(windows will ghost the connection after 30 minutes of it being unused 
and I always put it down to that)

It may not be the exact problem you are seeing but results in exactly 
the same error message on the windows side.

Happens on Mozilla and NS6 to.
