for problem #2 - you must have the same userid's in windows for your samba 
user's and passwords.  you then must specify in your smb.conf which 
directories said users will have access into.


problem #1 sounds like you need to create a script to automatically 
reconnect at boot up of your linux box (can't figure why you'd be rebooting 
linux too often?) which is illustrated here in many versions nicely.
