[Samba] Win2K Workstation Disconnecting Shares from Samba Server

Team:

I have a Linux Server running Debian Testing (2.4.18
kernel) and Samba 2.2.3a-12.1

It's been running GREAT.  This is a marvelous product.

I have a minor issue, though.  

2 of the 14 Win2K (all at SP3 and fully "Windows
Updated") will "disconnect" the shares on the Samba
server after only a few seconds of inactivity.  This
isn't typically a problem, except that with a few
software packages (AutoCad, PhotoShop, Illustrator),
attempts to resave a file generate a "file not found"
error and bring up the Save As dialog.  They can then
navigate to the original shared directory and save,
but it's a hassle.

I've got to believe it's an obscure client setting on
the Win2K boxes, but I can't find anything about it. 
All the shares on all 14 workstations are made via a
login.bat, so these 2 workstations aren't mapping
anything differently from the other 12.

smb.conf included below:

TIA
