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?
Someone else reported a similar problem about two months back, and i believe the general consensus was that this is simply a by-design feature of Window. We could argue the philosophical merit or non-merit of trying to reconnect remote drives automatically, but that could go on for years with no consensus. That said, i believe Windows is "Doing the Right Thing" here by not trying to auto-connect until the remote resource is actually used. -- ----- stephan@s11n.net http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W.
