I successfully run samba with win2k all the time. True, I get the red x on mappings until I open the drive and it opens fine. I haven't had problems though with apps that use it for storage such as quickbooks and programs that use a common storage location for the main files. I haven't had an app yet that fails with rh as the storage for shared files. I have had network problems cause what you are describing and hardware failures that do the same. If you haven't already do some network tests to see if you are loosing packets and some hardware diag even if it is new. If you need, I can get you a copy of my config file for samba, but if you can connect at one point and later it fails then the config file shouldn't be the problem. If it is configured improperly a function just won't work, not work intermittently. At least with my experience.
