Do you get this error from an application or from windows explorer. Usually I need to open explorer, click on the drive to get it to reconnect and then I can use the from an application. The same thing happens with windows servers, so this is not unique to Linux. Also make sure you have added a valid user to samba. It doesn't automatically use the passwd file for users that are defined on the system. To add a user, in a terminal window type smbadduser unixid:ntid. Use smbpasswd to set the password and to enable or disable users.
