I am working in a (very small) LAN with a Samba 3.4.x server, a Windows- 2000 client and a Windows XP-Home client. The Windows 2000 client always loses the working connection and shows (in the Windows Explorer) a red colored symbol for the share and "target" in the contents window. Clicking mostly doesn't reconnect. "searching" the computer or "net view <IP address>" reconnects. The XP home client doesn't show such nasty things. In both cases: no domain connection.

They just can not use "P" drive after some time. 1. User simple mount network share as permanent drive named "P". All ok. 2. Some time later,in the morning, user come and starting the job and see disconnected drive "P". 3. I very confused, because i have 2 Win XP Professional clients, who never lost mapped disks. Second thing = They never had same problems with 2003 (as they say) My primary questions: This looks like stupid question, and i know that. What samba parameters affect the connecting clients time ? May be samba has some default "dropping dead connections" timers and think what client is "dead" ?

Is that not working? Windows XP Home (in my LAN): no such problem. Windows 2000: automatic disconnection. And clicking on the share name doesn't help in any case, clicking on the "target" icon doesn't help in any case (sometimes it helps). Only "net view <IP-address>" or "search computer" does reconnect in every case. Nasty. Changing the registry as shown in <http://arktur.de/FAQ/content/38/217/de/samba_freigabe-verschwindet.html> doesn't help. I've set "disconnect" to 7220, but the system (Windows 2000) disconnects after about 15 minutes. Samba 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 Viele Gruesse!
