[Samba] CIFS share disconnects on Linux client, but is still accessible via SMBCLIENT

Hello. My Wandboard running Arch Linux ARM mounts a cifs share hosted on
a Windows 7 machine at boot. After a certain amount of time the
connection to the share is lost. I can cd to the mount point directory,
but when I run ls I get the error message: "cannot open directory '.':
Host is down". If I unmount the mount directory and try to remount the
share, I get a "mount error(2): No such file or directory" error.
However, I can still connect to the share using smbclient. And if I
reboot the Linux box the share again mounts with no problem. But after a
time it becomes inaccessible again.
I've tried several different things on the Windows machine, including
enabling and disabling SMB v1 and trying all the possible settings for
the NIC (Intel with the latest driver) and for Windows share
permissions. But the problem must involve Linux, since the share remains
available via smbclient and mounts with no problem when I reboot. I've
updated samba to the latest version and enabled winbind. I'm not sure
what else to try.
Any help would be appreciated. I can provide any information anyone
might need.
TIA
