    Suggest that by migrating to Mac OS 10.3.2 you may indeed eliminate this problem. You could also check out the settings on the screensaver and energy saver. I encountered a similar problem and by disabling the energy saver my problem was fixed. Since upgrading to OS 10.3 all is working fine.

         Ethan,
           I as well as a few others who post to the group are
         experincing the same problem.
           Have you found out anything?
           The text of my post follows.
         
         Thanks,

         My networking post:
         Hello,
           Using a Windows 2003 Enterprise Server in a
         predominantly Macintosh prepress network for a printing
         company. Wide range of machines OS 7.5 to OS X 10.2.8. and
         a few Wintel boxes. File Services for Mac is running.
           On the Win 2000 PC and the newer Mac OS machines we keep
         getting disconnected from the server. The events system
         log reports the following when the Macs get kicked off -
         _______________________
         Source: MACSRV
         Event ID: 12061
         
         Session from user "g4-2" was timed out and disconnected by
         the server. The IP address of the Macintosh workstation is
         in the data.
         _______________________
         
           The events security log reports the following when the
         PC gets kicked off but the PC "automatically" re-logs
         itself in so isn't terrible unless it does it in the
         middle of file operations -
         _______________________

                  Domain: 2003SERVER
                  Logon ID: (0x0,0x4D1E19)
                  Logon Type: 3
         _______________________
         
           The security event log for the Macs reports this -
         _______________________
         Source: Security
         Categpry: Logon/Logoff
         Event ID: 538
         
         User Logoff:
                  User Name: g4-2
                  Domain: 2003SERVER
                  Logon ID: (0x0,0x4F1F6D)
                  Logon Type: 3
         _______________________
         
           The disconnect occurs when the machines are idle and
         more often during file operations such as writing a
         postscript file to disk from Quark Express.
           The Macs require us to "remount" and "reauthenticate"
         manually. It is particularly troublesome during file
         operations and appears to happen more frequently when
         working with large files. We commonly deal with 50 MB
         files and larger. A job giving us trouble today is nearly
         2 GB in size.
