samba - Jul 1999 - Samba in win98 executing Solution 6 - Get error "password incorrect" and disconnected to mapped drive

Hello,
    We are running samba version 1.9.15p8 with 25 or so workstations.

    I've just added a new shared directory for an accounting software call
"Solution 6" which is being migrated from a Novell server to a Unix
server.

This is the problem:
    I can see the shared directory of the server, and I can mount it and view
the files in the mounted drive.

    All is well until of course until I run the software, the mounted drive
keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. It allows you to execute the file, run it
for a while, then the software locks up and says a certain file is locked. I go
to windows explorer and check on the drive and it says "password
incorrect", I goto dos prompt and do a dir and it say the same thing.
    If I disconnect the drive and re-map it in windows explorer, I can gain
access again. Or even stranger is that sometimes if I wait a while after I kill
"Solution 6" the drive allows me access again without having to
disconnect.
    At no time do I need to re-enter my password, and my password is accepted
always when I map drives and this does not occur on the other shared drives, so
its really weird.

    If anybody has any solutions, it would be most appreciative, as I've did
pretty much all I can, such as set "max connections=0", removed some
other shared directories which are not frequently used and mapping only that one
connection to my workstation.

Regards,
Francis.
