Our experience with NT 4 is different then yours. Our NT 4 experience is
that most SMBs have a response timer associated with them.  If the SMB does
not complete in about 45 seconds, the client will abandon the session.

While testing our SMB Server we noticed different behaviour between NT 4.0
and Windows 2000. While processing an SMB request that takes longer than 45
seconds we send NETBT keep alives to our client. NT 4.0 seems to respect
these and waits for our operation to complete but Windows 2000 gives up
after 45 seconds and puts up an error messsage.

Does anyone know if Windows 2000 respects the keep alives?
