[Samba] Windows XP disconnect from SCO/Unix Server

[Carol L Cordon-Allred]

Hello Everyone!

I have a SCO\Unix 5.0.2Eb server that is running Samba along with several
Windows XP Pro computers. Throughout the day these computers will be
disconnected from mapped folders on this SCO\Unix server. If the end-user
logs of their computer and them back on, the connects is re-established and
all is well. My network\domain is a Windows 2003 server that has a mixture
of XP, 98 and 2000 machines on it. These other machines are not affected and
their mappings remain connected all day, it is only the XP machines.

 

I don't run any policies because my network is main composed of 98 machines
and I have checked the local policies on the XP machines altering any time
to live configurations that are there. My next thought is it has to be
within the Samba that is causing my problem.

 

Has anyone run into this kind of problem, if so, what have you done to
correct it? I am going to be adding numerous more XP machines to my network
and I can't have this continue to happen.

 

Sincerely;
