I have a small business with a peer to peer network consisting of 8 PC's.
My file server is running Win XP Pro. This setup has worked fine for two
years.
For some reason starting about 3 weeks ago (when I added my 8th PC) I am
having problems with running out of connections to my file server. When I
check the active sessions on the server it never shows more than 2-3
sessions. However when I check the shares, I see that IPC$ has 9-10 shares.
I am assuming this is my problem.
Every document I have read so far on Microsoft's web site indicates thath
the limit is per computer, not connection so why am I having this problem?
Two of the PC's are running a database application and each have typically
4-5 databases open. Coincidentally when I added the final PC to the network
I also installed a new release of the database application.
I am trying to narrow down the cause of my problem. Can someone confirm
that the IPC$ share is probably my problem? If so, how do I track down
which application is the culprit?
Thanks!
