[Samba] Mapped drives gets disconnected ?

[Smith, Daniel A(Z07833)]

I've seen that problem here with Windows 2000 SP2. I'm thinking Microsoft did something to break the connections.  I've reduced the problem here by makeing the deadtime in smb.conf to less then the time out on the windows machine.  

You can determine the windows time out by typing "net config server" at a command prompt.
I've included my smb.conf so you can see what I have running.  It's hasn't fixed the problem completely, but it's reduced the headaches a whole lot.

Hi! 

I'm running a RedHat 7.2 server with Samba 2.2.3a - but recently I have a 
problem that mapped drives on Windows 2000 workstations get disconnected and

have problems reconnecting (error message is something like "local device 
name already in use" when I try to browse the drive in Windows Explorer). 

Any idea what causes this problem ? 

Regards, 

/Brian
