Short disconnections ?

[David Collier-Brown]

  It sounds a bit like a bug in VB's use of the redirector.  It should
issue a
read, time out or get "disconnected" back and then automatically retry,
just like the filesystem redirector normally does in Windows.

  I see windev is by a third party, not Microsoft, so you may want to
see if it happens with a real Windows SMB server
  If so, ask PC Soft if they have a fix for it.
  Of not, tell us, as Samba should behave the same as Windows.
