Do the connections go for long periods of time with no activity?  They could
be timing out and getting dropped by the NT server.  I know you can set the
timeout value on a Samba server, but I am not sure how to do it on NT.  I
think the timeout is so that connections from a machine that is shut off
are dropped...
