[Samba] slow and max connection errors

[Don Wheeling]

Thanks for all the suggestions so far. I can log into the server but i 
still get slow copies and an error in my logs:

2004/01/08 10:25:37, 0] lib/util_sock.c:read_data(436)
   read_data: read failure for 4. Error = Connection reset by peer

ideas?
