[Samba] Stopping smb error messages

I have been getting flooded with the following error messages:

smbd[8874]:   getpeername failed. Error was Transport endpoint is not
connected
smbd[8874]:   read_socket_data: recv failure for 4. Error = Connection
reset by peer

I can't figure out how to stop these smb errors short of shutting down
samba.  I have both an XP Pro and often a Win2000 box on my network and
assume they're causing the errors.  These boxes have been configured by
the IT guys where I work and have a number of security items enabled.  I'm
not able to make configuration changes to these boxes.

However, everything that is supposed to work does.  I just don't want to
see these messages cluttering up my log files anymore.

My smb.conf file is standard.  This system is neither a domain or
preferred master nor is wins support turned on.  I only use samba on this
system so the Win boxes can use the attached printers.  I'm running Fedora
core 2.

I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to turn these errors off .
