I have followed this thead because I have had the same troubles.
On the Primary server I have used
socket = IP-addres of server and I have both the lmhost og the hosts files up to date
When I now set up a second server on another workgroup but same subnet and disable port 443 in Samba and only uses port 139,
it seems that it all works ok.
I am still worried though, I have really had a lot of trouble and lost many hours trying to solve this problem.
Its was not only slowing the system when the errors occured, I experienced database errors if a program was writing to a database when it happended.
And the database has to be repaired.
If anyone knows more of this problem do write, I ko not know why these correction to the smb.cfg helps and why they ar necessary.
