We connect about 5 Win XP Professional PC's (with Service Pack 1) to the server. Roaming profiles are set up. After about 30 minutes client connections are lost to the server and the users cannot reconnect to the server, even if samba is restarted. A reboot of the server is required. This occurs, it seems at this stage, when large files are copied across the network from the server to the workstations. Such files include MYOB databases, and other files over about 50 MB. (MYOB data directories are mapped to drives, and not UNC.)
