Please bear with me on this one! I picked up SAMBA for the first time this week!

I'm running SAMBA on a linux box and for most of the time no problems at all. The only real problem I seem to keep on encounterring is that the one and only Windows 98 client I have connected seems to keep loosing its connection. I've tried restarting the SMB and NMB services, but upon restarting the Win98 client I'm still not able to connect to the file share hosted on the SAMBA server. The only solution I currently have is to restart the Linux host thus refreshing all of the services. This is rapidly becomming a real pain, I can't keep kicking users off!

Can anybody 'shed' any light on what maybe wrong. Please be aware that my SAMBA knowledge is next to zero!!

Thanking you in advance

P.S For as much as I would love to, I can't swap the current Win98 client for another/better OS!
