The connection is probably idle for a while, and NT will timeout the
connection.  When there is activity, it will reconnect to the server.

We need much more information on this subject.  Your paragraphs were a good
description, but now we need details.

What version of NT? what service pack?

Samba version?

Kernel version?

Distribution?

Any patches?

Windows utilities installed/running that affect networking?

You get the direction I'm going in....
