Linux / Win2K Samba random lockups

I'm sure I can't be the only one having this problem. I created a share on my Win2k box and mount the share on my linux box.
mount -t smbfs -o username=ion,password=****** //IONBOX/mp3 /mnt/ionsbox

It mounts fine and I can browse the directory from linux..After a few minutes (could be 2 minutes to 15 minutes) everything locks up. I can't browse the directory, I can't unmount the share, XMMS locks (I'm playing mp3's from that share).

Anyone know what's wrong? Need more info?

 
Win2k does SMB differently from older windows. update your kernel and smb to the latest your distro provides or compile newer ones yourself
 
I'm using RedHat 7 .. is it a fair assumption that the kernel 2.2.16 has support for this new SMB?
 
nope. RH has a 2.2.17-14 kernel out that I would update to and make sure your Samba is v2.0.7
