I am using Samba 2.2.3a-12.3 on a Debian server.
All the clients but one are XP home edition.
I have a share on the server which all workstations are able to see,
view, write, edit, etc.
After 15 minutes of inactivity the share obtains a red X over the share icon. I am able to reactivate the share by clicking on the red x with no problems.
I understand that Microsoft, in their wisdom, has a share timeout after
15 minutes of inactivity.
This might not seem like a problem, but the mortgage software will default to the local hard drive if it cannot find the share; therefore, writing data to the hard drive and not to the shared data drive.
Can anybody help me. I have come to the conclusion that the one XP Professional box that I have does not have this problem. I don't want to upgrade, buy, or install XP Professional on all the boxes.
at first i thaught that this is a problem with the nic, wire, switch, ...
not logical and not tested, but you can try this
c:\ net config server here you will see autodisconnect:15 minutes you can change it to eg. 120 minutes c:\ net config server /autodisconnect:120
c:\ net config workstation ??
you can serch the windows knowledge-base for further info
