samba - Oct 2001 - Strange Win2k / Samba share problem

Hi,

I'm using several win2k clients (SP2) together with a debian server running 
Samba 2.2.2.

Several shares are mounted from the samba server via a logon script
(net use ...) by each win2k client. One of this shares is the [homes] share, 
all others are static.

Mounting works without any problem, but after a few minutes all shares in the 
Explorer windows are crossed red (as if the connection to a network share is 
lost). Trying a "net use" on the win2k client shows, that all network
shares
are disconnected. Trying smbstatus on the linux server shows, that the 
connections still are valid. One annotation: I have several shares who are 
not mounted by the logon script, but are nevertheless shown by smbstatus in 
the beginning. These are lost when win2k shows the other shares disconnected.

When clicking on the "disconnected" drive in the explorer I get the 
connection, but without changing the red cross on the drive letter.

Any clues how to solve this?

Best regards

I get this 'red-x' problem sometimes even with Win2K shares mapped on
Win2K
boxes, so that is not just a Samba issue, although it is possible (probable?
;) that the Samba guys will be able to tell us exactly what is causing it,
as opposed to M$ denying the problem exists...
