10th user unable to connect to XP Pro machineWe are having the following problem:
The 10th user is unable to log into an XP Pro machine running as a server. The user list shows 9 users connected and the 10th user receives this message: "No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this time because there are already as many connections as the computer can accept" When all ten systems are connected, both netstat and net session show only 9 users connected, with the 10th unable to connect. Netstat shows the 9 IP addresses of the connected users. Net session does not show any local user connected (logged in as Administrator). This system is not used by anyone, so there aren't mappings to any shares on it. Also tried logging out of the system and leaving it at the login screen - this made no difference; still only 9 users allowed. kazer98 wrote:

Windows 2000 and NT WS before it. See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/122920/ And how does this reply help the OP since his question is asking why he
can't get the 10th user connected. He already knows about the 10 user limit. He's having a problem at 9.

You will usually start to run into the concurrent connections problem with 8 or 9 computers; sometimes even with 7 depending on what the server is being used for. So it is now time for the OP to get a real server operating system. JS gave a good link and here is more info: Concurrent connection limits: 10 for XP Pro/Tablet/MCE 5 for XP Home 49 for SBS 2000 74 for SBS 2003 Unlimited for full Server O/Ses Hope that clarified things, Malke Yes, thank you. I was really trying to illustrate that the last reply was
useless.

See: > > http://support.microsoft.com/kb/122920/ satisfaction of the operating system the connection still counts even though it can't be used. For example, a telnet connection that is was broken due to network problems and which cannot be reconnected to counts as a connection until the system reboots. (I don't think killing the process on the server reduces the count - at least it didn't for me when I tried on Windows 2000 Professional some years ago.) ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- If I remember correctly one of the 10 users is the system.
