Samba and Netware - Very Strange

[Monsores]

Hi.
I´m trying to put a Linux server with Samba in a Netware 5.1 SP6 network (TCP/IP) with Win98 workstations, but there is something very strange happening: the workstations can access everything on Netware as they should and also can run the application I put on the Linux/Samba server. But sometimes (after a reboot, but not always) the workstation can´t run the Samba application anymore, although it can browse the Shared Linux directory. Then if I remove the Netware Client from the workstation I can run the Samba application again, but If I reinstall Netware Client the problem returns (can browse/can´t run). The most incredible: without doing anything, if I boot up the workstation the next day, everything is allright again and works many days till the problem is back...
I have already reinstaled the Linux server and also the Netware server.
I feel crazy reading what I wrote...
Anyone has any idea?

Thanks,
Marcelo

Do you have a login script that maps a drive letter to the share?

Have you typed the name of your Samba workgroup in the Client for Microsoft Networks properties?

Hi Matt.
I don´t have a script to map the shares, but I configured windows to always map the share when it starts.
I didn´t type the workgroup name in the Client. I will try this. I think it has great possibilites of solving my problem.

Thanks,
Marcelo
