Your options are :

1. Use a wired connection
2. Avoid Samba/CIFS shares and configure your server for NFS instead
3. Use AutoFS to create your network shares.

In case 3, AutoFS replaces the need to configure anything in /etc/fstab. Seems to work well enough with most connections, although another bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/autofs/+bug/393012/comments/34) will give you some issues when you first set it up.

Samba shares and Ubuntu, at least over WIFI, don't make for a very happy experience, I'm afraid.
