samba - Jul 2004 - Connection Problems from Windows 2000 Server to a SAMBA Share

Dear All,
 
I am experiencing a problem accessing a SAMBA share  from a Windows 2000 SP4
server. We have a Service on the Windows 2000 Server, which processes a number
of database queries and prepares a file. It then copies this file to a SAMBA
share using the UNC convention (\\servername\foldername\filename). The user who
runs this service belongs to a domain - domain1 while the SAMBA share on the
unix machine is in a different domain. However the domain1\username has full
access rights to the SAMBA shares. For some unknown reason, on some days the
jobs work fine and the files are copied while on some other days every single
job to copy the files fails. We have checked the SAMBA setup and all is OK.
 
Are there any known problems which cause this connection/disconection problem ?
 
Please help
 
Cheers
Ranga
