maybe it could be about the "max connections" configuration.
Check your conf file and look for it. Removing the option
should allow unlimited connections.

$man smb.conf

        max connections (S)
               This  option allows the number of simultaneous con-
  		(..removed..)

               Default: max connections = 0

               Example: max connections = 10

When you raise the connection, you may need to raise the corresponding 
file connection limits for linux. You can change the file limits 
permanently by changing in the /etc/sysctl.conf fs.file-max. I set mine 
as fs.file-max = 65536.

There is a way to change the file max connection dynamically without a 
reboot but I am not too sure. I believe you need to set 
/proc/sys/fs/file-max to a new value. If you look at 
/proc/sys/fs/file-nr, it shows your current setting.
