Hello list,
I don't know what is breaking my samba box but I am really very
worried and confused !! My samba server has no problem with linux
client. "smbclient -L <samba IP> -U <samba user>" runs well. No
problem at all. But whenever I try to access the shares from Win-XP it
reports that "path not found". And after repeatedly trying the same
Win-XP managed to get the share after waiting a long time. But it lost
the shares after say 15/20 min. More over a mapped samba drive
Immediately disconnected after restart !!! I am really really
confused. All Linux clients are running so well but Win-XP. I have
checked the nmbd.log and found errors like
```````````````````
