I am loosing my patience with this and I just need it to work! I would even be willing to pay someone to help me get this going. Ok, here is the back story. I have a Haas VF2 Machine center that only has an ethernet port for file sharing. So my Haas logs into Samba using a username and password through the ethernet port connected directly to the raspberry pi. That part of the system seems to work well. Now my raspberry Pi connects to my WIFI. This is how I would like to save the files to the raspberry pi from my computer. So, quick overview. I am saving NC files to my Raspberry Pi over wifi from my windows pc so that my Haas Machine can pull them off the raspberry pi to run the NC program.
I had this system up and running. But now, all of a sudden, when I boot up my Haas Mill, I cannot connect to the server from my computer. When I shut down my haas mill, I can reconnect again. Please Help Me! I want to get this working so bad, it saves so much time when transferring files. I don't even really know where to start anymore...
This is what I have added to my smb.conf
[haas]
Comment = Haas File Server
path = /home/cedesigns/Desktop/haas
Browseable = yes
Writeable = yes
only guest=no
create mask=0777
directory mask=0777
public = yes
Guest ok = yes
Also, I know this allows anyone to access this server. I am not too worried about it, as its just machine tool paths, but I would not be opposed to making it private.
Thank you for your help!

Following is a "schematic" of sorts to better illustrate the interconnections:
