We are running a small network of about 20 PC?s all running Windows 2000. We have 1 Windows XP Professional computer which we are using as a sort of File server .
The problem I have is with mapping drives to the XP computer it seems to only allow a certain number of connections ( max 10 I believe) then it won?t allow any more connections to it at all.
I have set the XP computer to drop unused connections after 5 mins but this is still causing us a lot of problems.
I have also read that to get round this problem all you do is create a short cut to the file you want but on our system if the total number of connections to the XP computer are all being used its not possible to create the short cut as the computer will not allow you to even open the folder were the file is located .
Any help on this would be greatly accepted.
Regards
Pete
