This may have absolutely no bearing, but I used to see a similar
thing on our network using only Windows. I never did find the
cause/solution, because about that time we were getting new
network equipment (converting to ATM) and transitioning to Win95
from WFW, etc, and the problem went away. In other words, it
might not be a samba/Linux issue; it might be a
networking/Windows issue.
