I had a similar experience, where NT4, 9X & DOS clients dropped off. 

This was caused by a hung process  or locked file in my case, where smbd
failed shutdown cleanly. 
Rather than attempting to trace the rogue file/process, I simply
restarted the machine and all came up roses.

Might be better to set-up a test machine & test your upgrades before
rolling them out eh!
