Or so I thought. I'm able to browse the samba server within Network Neighborhood on the windows clients, and am able to map the samba shares to drive letters. However, every so often, the connection seems to hiccup and I lose connection to the shares. I get messages from windows saying the connection has been "lost". I know connectivity to the machines is okay during this period of time as I'm still able to SSH to the server, FTP to it and access the web pages being served by Apache. I'm running the basic smb.conf file, with very little changes. I'm also using share level security. Does this problem sound familiar to anyone?
