I replaced the NIC card on one of the machines having the problem I just mentioned below, and the problem still persists. I don't know if the size of the database has anything to do with this, but the DB is over 10Meg.
If anyone has any other suggestions, I'm all ears. Also, I have attached the results of smbstatus.
