Question #243566 on samba in Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+question/243566

    Status: Open => Solved

BCW142 confirmed that the question is solved:
OK, solved now. Had to take my network apart and put it back together,
but most of the problem was my ISP, Fairpoint.net one of the worst in
New England. They mess up my connection regularly, for some reason
generally on Sundays! I don't know why, but it an take weeks to get it
back right like this time. It started with the samba problem and
finished with no connection at all with my DSL. Took them from last
Sunday when I called them till this afternoon (Wednesday) to fix it,
it's been mostly down the whole time. So the problems were due to noise
from the DSL line into the house that was causing the Samba problems
with my network, showing up first under Ubuntu then later inthe whole
connection going down for days. Fairpoimt likely crossed some wires on
Sunday that took me down for good, but had to have crossed others back
last month that started the Samba problem. So all your Samba problems
may not be in your side of the network, they can come from outside from
bad ISPs.
