Shares shut down after inactivity

This concerns shared folders on a Win 2003 Small Business
Server, which we are trying to access with workstations
using Win XP Pro SP1. It is a domain-based network with
the server at issue as the domain controller.

When a workstation is freshly logged in, it can access
shares as "network places" or as mapped drives with no
problem. But after the workstation has been logged in for
several hours or overnight, the shares become
inaccessible until the workstation logs out and then logs
in again.

If the user tries to access the shares without logging
out and then logging in, the explorer hangs trying to
access the share and must be killed with the task manager.

The problem only occurs on shares on the win 2003 server.
Shares on other Win XP Pro workstations don't shut down
like this.

I have tried the following command to try to
disable "autodisconnect", but it doesn't help:

net config server /autodisconnect:-1

Any ideas?
