Hiya
We have 6 pcs connecting to a 7 pc we call our server. The network is peer
to peer all the machines including the server are running windows xp pro.
Since adding the seventh machine to the network we are unable to map drives
to the server from different machines intermittently. When mapping from dos
using the "net use" command we are told that the maximum number of
connections has been reached. When I look at the server and run the net
session command (or go through computer management sessions) we can see
the ten connections, but it is showing multiple connections for the same
computer. We disconnected the sessions and browsed to the server through
network neighborhood (or run \\server) and Net session shows one
connection. If we then map a drive to the servers ip address we see another
session being created.
Are these really two connections and are we really exceeding our limit of
ten users?
Why does mapping a drive using the net use command and the ip address eg
net use v: \\192.168.0.1\data create one session and on the same machine
using net use g: \\server\data create another session.
If we map any more drives future sessions are not created.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
