[Samba] XP clients regularly lose connection

Hi,

We have Samba 2.2.8 on RedHat 9.0 (from rpm).
We connect about 5 Win XP Professional PC's (with Service Pack 1) 
to the server.  
Roaming profiles are set up.

After about 30 minutes client connections are lost to the server and 
the users cannot reconnect to the server, even if samba is restarted.  
A reboot of the server is required.

This occurs, it seems at this stage, when large files are copied across 
the network from the server to the workstations.  Such files include 
MYOB databases, and other files over about 50 MB.

(MYOB data directories are mapped to drives, and not UNC.)

Thanks,
adrian

[Samba] XP clients regularly lose connection

Hi Mark,

I tried this and actually lost all connection to the samba 
server!
Now the XP Pro machines cannot communicate with 
Samba, so cannot get Roaming profiles, etc., drives, 
etc.

odd...
