>Hi-
>
>I'm having a recurring problem with Windows XP and a Samba share on 
>logon.  More specifically, I have a Samba (v 3.0.24 on Debian Etch) 
>share with share permissions (not a domain) mapped to a drive 
>in Windows 
>XP Pro.  Whenever someone logs onto an XP Pro computer in the network 
>the drive isn't there.
>
>Here's an example: Say there's a document on the shared drive and a 
>shortcut to that document on the XP desktop.  If I click on the 
>shortcut, Windows can't find the document.  However, opening 
>My Computer 
>and/or browsing to the drive works and then I can use the shortcut on 
>the desktop.  This behavior is the same regardless of the application, 
>anything that tries to access the share prior to opening My Computer 
>will fail.  
>
>Once the drive is accessed for that first time manually, it works 
>perfectly fine for the remainder of the session.  This behavior occurs 
>across several XP Pro clients in the network.  I think it's 
>also notable 
>that the "Unable to reconnect to all network drives" or 
>whatever balloon 
>pop-up does *not* appear, so there's no indication that something is 
>wrong until I try to access something on the share drive before 
>navigating to it manually.
>
>I've searched through docs, etc, but haven't been able to find anyone 
>with similar behavior or that describes it in the same way, at least.  
>
>Thank you for any help or pointers to FAQs or otherwise.
