I have a mixed XP and Linux network here, with some machines dual-
booting, and Samba works excellently alongside Lanmanager - or whatever
M$ calls its network stack these days.
I think that the Samba daemon shuts down after a while when it doesn't
detect a network. I've certainly had it disappear on me on an
unconnected laptop, and that's what I've suspected the problem to be.
I'll get around to reading up on that sometime, and presumably fixing
the appropriate config.
