[Samba] drive mapping's connection problems

[Paolo Supino]

Hi 

 My company network is built from a series of Solaris 
machines running samba (2.2.x) and windows 2000 clients. 
The domain controller is samba 2.2.8a. When someone logs
on the login script maps a few shares to drive letters. 
Recently the drive mappings started getting disconnected
and when pressed they print out the error: 
"An error occurred while reconnecting to [Drive Letter]: 
to \\server\share. Microsoft Windows Network: The local 
device name is already in use. This connection has not been
restored." 
 Can anyone please explain why this happens and how I 
can prevent it? 


TIA 

	Paolo
