Maybe this?

"Limiting the number of concurrent connections

Samba is able to limit the number of concurrent connections when smbd is
launched as a daemon (not from inetd). The 'max smbd processes' smb.conf
option allows Administrators to define the maximum number of smbd processes
running at any given point in time. Any further attempts from clients to
connect to the server will be rejected."

max smbd processes = 1

That could cause the problem you describe.  Check /etc/samba/smb.conf (or
where ever Solaris keeps the file) and make sure "max smbd processes" isn't
defined.
