[Samba] different win machines on PDC not accessible at different times

[Markus Greil]

We have the same problem:

And we can find that in our logfiles:
------------------
log.smbd-[2004/01/07 07:38:52, 0] lib/util_sock.c:get_peer_addr(948)
log.smbd:  getpeername failed. Error was Transport endpoint is not connected
------------------

This is a pretty annoying problem, and I've checked and checked my config, but have found no solution in it or on the internet.  My smb.conf is attached.      Any help would be appreciated.
