Hi, I have a SUSE 9.2 samba network drive server and connect with a Windows 98 PC and a Windows XP PC in a local network. When I leave the XP on over night it seems that the drive gets disconnected. The 98 PC can run for weeks and does never get disconnected. Lately, I can not even connect again with the XP and it says that the drive is already under use. Is there a way to solve this problem? It is causing considerable difficulties not being able to connect with the XP machine. Thanks in advance. Ralph

Jeremy! I was using samba-3.0.7, now I have just upgraded to samba-3.0.11 and can connect again. What a relief :). Thanks a million.
