Having your Windows system tray icon indicate that your network connection has gone away seems to indicate a layer 1 problem rather than something specific to Samba. I would advise you check physical medium things such as the cable and ports for intermittent contact, and framing mismatches -- such as a duplex mismatch between client and upstream port.
Good luck

Hello,
I have a client that has a RedHat 8 box with samba 2.2.7 running as a basic file server. They have two win98 computers and 1 w2k pc. They have no problems accessing the files on the server from the win98 pc's but the win2k pc keeps dropping the connection... I would normally say... ok its some hardware problem with the win2k box... BUT if i copy files to and from shares on the win98 pc's it works fine... and if I copy files FROM the samba server it works fine... it only drops the connection when writing to the server... If i'm copying a file to the server the little icon in the sys tray pops up every couple of secs saying the lan connection is down then it goes away and then it pops back up a couple of seconds later... VERY strange behaviour....
Any clues???
Thanks, Jason N.
