    How do I Increase the number of Connections to a Computer?
    « on: July 06, 2007, 12:03:04 PM »
    Hi!

    I often get this error when i'm trying to connect to one of the PC where i installed the printer. I have 10 PCs, i installed the printer in one of them, i shared the printer so that it can be used over the LAN, that works fine.
    I have also created a shared folder on this same machine, i mean where the printer is installed and i  keep my files in this shared folder so that i can retrieve them over the LAN, making things easier. The problem is when i get to Run and i type the IP address of this machine which is \\10.0.0.91 and press enter i get the following error massage
    (No more connection can be made to this Remote computer at this time because ther is already as many connections as the computer can accept). I was hoping to see the shared folder open instead of this error

    How do i resolve this issue, or how can i increase the connection on this machine.

    Thanks everyone, any suggestion is welcomed.

    Microsoft hard codes a 10 pc limit into the client operating systems. If you want to add more than 10 connections than you will need to buy a server version of Windows.
