I've been having trouble staying logged into one of the Windows servers at my office. Another Windows server at the same office never kicks me out, but this one will seldom allow me to stay logged in for more than an hour or so, and occasionally will kick me out after just a few seconds.

Both servers are running Windows Server 2003 with the latest patches. In both cases I'm logging into a shared folder.

The only difference is that the server that kicks me out is also running Webserver and Cold Fusion.

The problem may simply be my equipment. Due to budget limitations and the relative expense of buying me and my assistant new Macs in an otherwise all-Windows workplace, I'm using a Mac tower that was bought in 2001. It's running 10.4.11. An upgrade to Leopard is pretty much out of the question, though if it were possible, I suspect it would solve the problem. A Windows user here was having the same problem, but it was solved when he upgraded to XP.

Barring getting a new Mac, is there any other fix for this problem?
