How did you set up your winnt connection?? I'd guess it is something
that should have been configured / run through an smbclient connection?
My experience here is that you can embed the username/password into the
smbclient connection information. Then it should be a more persistent
connection. If you don't provide that as part of the smbclient
connection then if that other server restarts you would have to provide
that login information again because the Windows server doesn't know who
you are.
