Author [Samba] Drive mappings timing out in XP
Evans, Michael

I am running Samba 2.2.8a on Solaris with XP clients. Some users are
experiencing the problem of the mapping going to sleep or timing out. After
a certain amount of inactivity an x will appear on the share icon and must
be clicked before files can be accessed. Has anyone else experienced this
behavior?

Yes I am having a similar problem. However I have not found the RIGHT
solution yet.

My problem seems to be steming from WINS. Are you using WINS? If so try
diabling it and restarting.
Or another thing to try is to use LMHOSTS or hosts file name resolution.

Let me know if you find any realy fixes for this.
