When I first started with samba, I had a similar problem.  In my case it 
turned out to be the NIC.  The NICs on the samba server depended on the 
software driver (written only for that "other" OS) to correctly formulate the 
packets.  Using the linux drivers (the nic claimed to be ne2000 "compatible") 
the packets were not being created correctly.  Took me a long time to finally 
figure it out - changed the NICs and the problem disappeared.  It had nothing 
to do with samba.

The symptoms were that small files (in my case, less than about 60K) would 
cause no problem - everything worked fine.  Larger files always created 
problems - and on the W95 PCs, the error messages gave no hint of the real 
cause - just like every other MS error message. 

But your problem could be different . . . .
