Hey, I've got a bit of a strange problem I can't figure out, Im running a debian box, running debian 3.1 and /usr/sbin/smbd --version Version 3.0.14a-Debian My windows box has windows xp sp2, basically what is happening is, when i boot my windows machine I can connect to the samba server fine, but after a period, im not sure exactually how long, i believe it varies, i can no longer connect to the samba share, restarting samba, restarting the debian box wont fix the problem, it isnt until i reboot the windows box that this issue is fixed, Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could fix this problem? Ive tried removing my network adapter and all the network components and readding them, but that hasn't fixed the issue either. Thanks guys (and girls) James
