Are you using dhcp? If yes, it looks like a problem due to IPaddress not
being persistent (possibly a bug in dhcpcd).

Are you able to reproduce this problem if you use static IP?  Also, see
if the problem is persisting if you use dhclient instead of dhcpcd.

I seem to have misread. It looks like the client in this case is Windows
box and the Server is Linux. So, if you suspect any issues with Samba,
please report to Samba mailing list. This is not a appropriate list to
discuss non-kernel/non-cifs client issues.

Thanks,
