[TriLUG] Windows Dropping Mapped Samba Share

[James Toebes via TriLUG]

Is it possible that the share is being dropped from the server side? You 
mention samba share.  Check server settings. I often have network maps 
drop due to timeout from the server.  No client change can fix that 
without having something that constantly access the share. i.e. 
scheduled job doing a listing of the share.

Changing this to 0xFFFFFFFF (-1, which should mean infinite) had no 
effect.

This also had no effect.

:-(

Another suggestion was adding the server to the domain, which I haven't 
tried yet...I was hoping to avoid that additional complexity.  I guess 
that'll be the next stop on this tour.
