Samba Disconnecting from NT Share

I use the smbmount command to mount an NT share (a different server) to my Linux box. The share stays open for a while, then disconnects. After it drops off, if I try and do an ls command to see the shared directory on the Linux box, I get an Input/output error. I can do an smbmount command again to remount. Is there any way to keep the connection open permanently? I am using the share to connect via my Apache web server so it is important that it stays connected all the time.

Please help...
I am using the latest version of Samba on Red Hat 6.2

Hi!

Instead of using smbmount do this:
mount -t smbfs //my_NT_Srv/share /mnt/point

This is how I mount shares in RH6.2 and they stay connected until I dissmount them.

Also consider turning of the automounter if it is running or configure it not to disconnect that mount point after the timeout time.

Run following command in Windows Nt Server like administrator

net config server /autodisconnect:0

This command disable inactivity time session.
