I have a couple of machines running Windows (with Linux on dual boot, of 
course).  A third machine is running Linux with Samba and exporting several 
directories via Samba.

On one of the machines, when I start up Windows, My Computer shows the 
exported drives as "Network Drive".  But on the other one, exported drives 
show up as "Disconnected Network Drive".  Each Windows machine, however, can 
see the other's exported folders without difficulty.

So there seems to be some Windows setting that enables Windows to see Samba 
drives right away, and on one machine it's set and on the other it isn't.  A 
likely villain would be "Reconnect on logon", but that's checked on both 
machines.

I can get the disconnected drives connected by clicking on them in My 
Computer.

Any guesses?

Paul
