Is that not working? Windows XP Home (in my LAN): no such problem. Windows 2000: automatic disconnection. And clicking on the share name doesn't help in any case, clicking on the "target" icon doesn't help in any case (sometimes it helps). Only "net view <IP-address>" or "search computer" does reconnect in every case. Nasty. Changing the registry as shown in <http://arktur.de/FAQ/content/38/217/de/samba_freigabe-verschwindet.html> doesn't help. I've set "disconnect" to 7220, but the system (Windows 2000) disconnects after about 15 minutes. Samba 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 Viele Gruesse!
