I'm the only user on this one box, so I never log off. Drive letters are mapped just fine whenever I log on, and they aren't unmapped unless I reboot, which I do every two weeks or so. That message usually comes up after not actively using the share for a while, like a few hours or maybe a day, but not always. In spite of what it claims about the connection not having been restored, it always _is_ automatically restored after closing the message window.
What's more, sometimes I've checked the status of connections with `net use` from a console prior to attempting to access the mapped drive letters, and they showed as disconnected. "Ok, now I'll get the message", I thought. However, when I tried to access the mapped drive letters associated to those broken connections, the connections were transparently restored and the message was _not_ shown. *shrugs* Windows is weird.

Something to the effect of [net use * /delete] works really well That will keep that message from coming up at least Chris Krieger MCSE, MCP, A+ CCNA -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
