Hi Dietrich,
after the IPC$ shares are 'lost'  ARE THERE ANY connections that 
show up in smbstatus  with anna as the username?

Hi,

The try with smbstatus was not very bad, now I know that Windows 2000
connects
with a IPC$ share as nobody:nogroup and an other IPC$ as user:users with the
same
PID as the user after a short time all IPC$ connection are lost and from
that
moment
on (I think) the dynamicly shared shares are lost. Maybe that someone
know what I can do now?
In the samba.log file I found an entry:
[...]
[2001/10/10 15:35:17, 3] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(646)
  anna (192.168.128.7) closed connection to service IPC$
[2001/10/10 15:35:17, 3] smbd/connection.c:yield_connection(50)
  Yielding connection to IPC$
[...]
What does "Yielding connection" meen? Is it the right way to the answer?

Thanks Dietrich
