reset IPC$ number

[Tester]

Hello there,
Is there a way to reset or decrease the number of IPC$ logged under
computer management, shared folders, shares on an XP machine?
My goal is to reduce the number of client connections.
I have an XP machine sharing some folders and although the number of
incoming PCs connecting to the shares is only 5 I am already getting
no more connections can be made to this machine error. I noticed the
IPC$ is high under the client connections, the shared folders
connections is normal. With only 5 PCs connected to shares I already
have 10 or more IPC$ counting against the client connections limit.
Thank you, T

Those are administrative shares, if you need a server, then I'd suggest
you use one.

Hi Brian,
The problem I am having a hard time answering why I was able to serve
4 shares off a windows 2000 Professional machine with 5...9 machines
working off these shares and now when I simply deployed an XP Pro
machine with the same shares, although on different partition D: I am
getting errors connecting to it with only 5 client computers so I need
to reboot it to clear the connections limit?
Until I cannot find an answer for this I cannot move to a server.
Thank you, T

Would reducint the idle time before a disconnect help?

Go to a cmd prompt and type

NET CONFIG SERVER

to see your current settings.

To reduce idle time try

NET CONFIG SERVER /AUTODISCONNECT:2

That would drop the idle connection after 2 minutes...

Hi there,
Yes, it helps I set it to 1 minute.
Actually the setting that helped the most was KB 328459[anonymous
shares].
Thank you, T
