i don't know what classifies as a "samba server", but i've been running
samba 2.0.2 on FreeBSD 3.1-RELEASE in our office here... its currently at
176 days uptime and i've not had a problem with it at all.  only thing is
sometimes i make config changes and have to SIGHUP smbd & nmbd.. but
that's seldom and normal.

also.. its a ppro180 w/96 MB RAM...  solid as a rock

as far as your "network is busy" problems... i'd look at the client
machine first... if its running win9x, try a reboot first...
i've had minor issues like that myself.. but a reboot (of the windoze
client machine) has almost always solved the problem...
i don't know for sure.. but i think it has something to do with the
WINS service and browse-mastering.
anyway... i'd bet that its not your fbsd/samba box... :)
good luck!
