WOW paint me happy !!
i have trying to understand why the samba drive was
always becoming 'not availabe'. was it the router??
was it the samba setup??
two days and multiple power save periods and the samba
drive is still there!!
i checked the registry entries and could not find
anything like what you had mentioned. i executed the
command line suggested, no complaints from the system,
and wallah.
dennis, and others, you have made my day/week/month
thanks for participating!!
