I have good news and bad news.  The good news is that the errors have 
"almost" stopped.  Before making this change I was getting about 16 of 
these errors (Connection reset by peer) in bursts 30 minutes apart.  
After applying this, I have had 2 errors total in about 2 1/2 hours, so 
thats quite an improvement.  (Why did this fix work, btw?)

The interesting thing is when I applied this (by making the change to 
smb.conf, and then doing a "service smb restart" on the FC3 box that is 
the server) I got the following in the /var/log/messages.  It looks 
serious (PANIC) but things appear to be working and I haven't had any 
users yelling at me yet.

Thanks!
Don
