Drive already connected Error in Windows 2000

[MCCALL,DON (HP-USA,ex1)]

Hi Garry,
I missed that in the original post, thanks.
Do you do a lot of printing?  I seem to remember a problem
involving smbd's remaining open because of print status 
requests or something that Jeremy Allison was working on,
but I can't find it.  
Either way, I think upping your flocks table space should help....
