I am receiving the following error when I try to map a
shared drive to a new computer in my office. Why cannot
I not do this? I only have 6 other computers sharing
this drive. Is there a maximum?
Thanks


The mapped network drive could not be created because the
following error has occured

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

Yes, there's an inbound connection limit.
XP home and Pro are client OSes, not server OSes.

XP Home : 5 machines can be simultaneously connected;
XP Pro: 10 machines can be simultaneously connected.

It's detailled here:
Inbound Connections Limit in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;314882

If you think you're getting knocked back before the connection limit is
reached, then you can read through this:

Troubleshooting Server Message Block Inbound Connection Limit
in Windows Peer-to-Peer Workgroup

If you need more inbound connections, then you need to look at
getting a proper server OS like win2000 server.
