Hi, I have a computer that holds documents that users access. There are only 7 users that access this share. Sometimes if a user tries to access a file on this share an error comes up that user limit as been reached. I know that this can't be because user limit is set to max, which is 10 users on the shared drive. I have to log off then back on the shared drives computer, then it will be OK for awhile. Has anyone seen this before? Thanks

it is possible your connections are not timing out fast enough. I have also seen this problem on win 98 peer to peer when network card drivers for certain cards were dated earlyer than 8-98.

I've seen this on windows 98 comptuers where people log out and there is a "ghost connections" where it shows that they have not logged out. Only way I've cleared it up is to make sure each computer has the exact same protocol isntalled on each comptuer.

I'm also wondering if they are opening up the files more than once during the session.

just check your server manager utility in admin tools to see concurent user connections. Thereby you can see if you have any "ghost" users or other connections you didnt know about.
