[ubuntu-uk] Samba timeout?

[Liam Wilson]

Hey all;

I've set up a nice little home network with my 9.04 laptop and my XP box 
using samba. The only problem I have is that whilst the connection works 
fine after booting up my 9.04 (Which is the client), I can access my 
files on the XP server and vice-versa for about 20-30 minutes, and then 
the connection 'times out' and I cannot access the XP server. It does 
not even show up in Networks!

Is there any possibility to resolve this other than rebooting my 9.04?

Many thanks;

Liam
