Are you running samba as a domain controller?
	If so, is the XP machine a member of the domain?

	If not:
		Is the samba server a memeber of a domain?
		And is your XP machine a domain member?

If your samba server is running as a stand-alone server, then you have NO
control over XP's decision to drop the drive connection unless you hack
the registry to no do so.
