>From the actual reg file itself This registry key is needed for a Windows XP Client to join and logon to a Samba domain.
Keep in mind that if you are using Samba in a workgroup setting, the patch is not needed. Also the patch is only good for XP Pro....XP does not support domain logins. As far as XP timing out or disconnecting, do you mean the actual mapped drives timeout and lose connection.?? One thing my I have found that helps eleviate this particular issue is to turn off the web client service if you do not use it. Now with XP loginng in with the admin password, I am not sure about this one. It will probably get fixed in service pack 12 :-). Seriously maybe some one else knows.

In regards to XP, I have XP Home and Pro laptops that have issues when talking to samba, they connect, then eventually time out, or disconnect, upon reconnect, XP tries to log in with administrator or a blank username. Its driving me to insomnia because I work third shift, and my coworkers batty because they keep having to call me during the day.
