[Samba] WinXP closing network share when starting task manager

[timothy mcdaniel]

I have looked at your log file and it says: "get_referred_path: |privat| in
dfs path \a01\privat is not a dfs root." and I have also looked at your
smb.conf file and it says you are having the privat share at the
/nas/pdc/homedir/%U right? so if you are trying to map the directory or path
to "%U" which means user, then this is why it is showing up as "\a01\privat"
because it is taking the path for the user("%U") and adding a \privat(Which
is the share the computer is trying to access)behind it. I would first try
to take off the "%U" and put the path there first, and see if they are not
disconnected when they open the task manager, and if there are not then the
"%U" part was the problem but if it doesn't work, try to email me back and I
will try to help you.
