samba - Feb 2002 - write_socket: Error writing 4 bytes to socket 5: ERRNO = connection

Gidday All
I've got a problem accessing my schools samba server. When I left Friday
everything was working but there had been a power cut overnight and no
access this morning. The problem occurs both from pc's (win98) that are
setup for domain logins and pc's that are still peer to peer. Samba is the
primary domain controller.

I'm way over my depth in here Can ANYONE help? PLEASE

This comes from the archives, might be relevant:

Basically, in their situation, it was a name resolution issue.
Is there a DNS not working anymore, etc.?
