Windows 10: Windows 10 laptop repeatedly loses connection to SAMBA share

Hi,


I have a few machines, all running Windows 10, connecting to a file-server running Samba on Ubunutu. All the PC connect fine, except one Lenova laptop that constantly loses the connection. I've checked to see that all the CIFS components are installed.


The only difference I can see between the laptop and the other machines, is that it is connecting over WiFi and the others are not. But the WiFi connecting appears to be stable. Even when we can't connect to the shared drives, we can connect to the Internet.


This is driving me, and more importantly my wife, nuts. Any tips on what it might be or where to start troubleshooting would be much appreciated.


Thanks


Karl
