limits to XP home drive mapping

Hello

We use XP home as our main computer and we have 5 workstations that need to map a drive to the computer main XP Home. 4 the computer can connect, but when that 5th try to connect it says that the computer is already at its max connections and that he cannot take any more connections.
I read that XP Home Edition can have up to 5 connections to it and XP Pro can have up to ten. I'm trying to understand why the XP machine at home allows only 4 computer map a drive to it? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

  • A drive mapped on the XP computer to reconnect to a Windows 7 computer

    I have a XP Home Edition on a peer-to-peer network computer.  I drives mapped to a new Windows 7 computer, but they are now disconnected and will not remap.  I had disabled the XP computer over the weekend and now I can remap the readers, I need to access.  Any suggestions?

    Try to establish basic connectivity...
    Start-> Run-> '\\Win7Computer '.
    Or you override the network name of your machine Windows 7 for "Win7Computer."

    I also find that sometimes, errors in a command prompt window are more descriptive of a problem...  Try to bring up a command window (start-> Run-> "cmd" "") and enter the command:
    NET use * \\Win7Computer\sharename
    Where you replace your network name of machine Windows 7 for "Win7Computer" and replace it with a "share name" network shared folder name  You can also replace a drive letter (for example "G:" for the *)

  • Drives mapped network needed a deleted windows 7 profile

    I needed to recreate the windows profile to resolve lync where he would not change the State based on their outlook calendar, but I did take note of the network drives mapped statically to the user. So, when I deleted the user profile I lost what it had mapped statically.  Is there a way to restore the user's profile or find a place at all anyway to see what mapped network drives that had it before? Any kind of connections stored in the registry or perhaps the security logs? Where to look in the registry or this what should I filter in security logs, or are there other options?

  • Adobe Acrobat Reader Installation Error 1327: invalid drive mapped to a user folder

    Try to install Adobe Acrobat Reader on Windows 8 so that I can make the PDF Renseignez form (which doesn't seem to work with the default player Win8 app). I get the following error in the installation of Adobe:

    Error 1327.Invalid Drive: P:\ mapped to a user folder. The drive does not exist or could not be connected. You can disconnect the drive or reassign the drive letter. For more information, see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404946.html

    I know this post is very old, but it is the top google result when searching on this question, so I thought that a useful response would be in order.  I also had this problem, but I discovered the problem in the way I had my place set for My Documents, my pictures, etc..

    Short answer, you must use UNC paths for mapping.

    Longer answer - like you, I have a House (in my case sup) drive connected to my network of the company.  So, I can navigate to U:\Documents.  I had put the location of my documents (and other user files) to U:\Documents, well it worked most of the time it's really not the right way to do it.  If you open your drive mapped in file Explorer, the window title bar will show you the UNC patch.  It will look something like this: yourUsername (\\servername\home$).  Set the location of your My Documents, etc. to match - for example, to \\servername\home$\yourUsername\Documents

    Note that you can not change just the My Documents - you must fix all of your user files that point to a network drive letter (C:\Users\blah bla... is fine) in the format of a UNC path instead.  Then re-run the installation of acrobat and you should be golden.  If the foregoing makes no sense to you, or you do not have the required privileges on your workstation, talk to your resource and they will be able to sort it out for you.

    Make sure that the mapped drive is configured to share and works on part.

    Auto-mappage will not work if there is a problem with sharing.

    Maybe this can help.

    Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

    General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted

    Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  • How can I get Windows 7 Pro 32 bit automatically connect to drives mapped to the startup?

    How can I get Windows 7 Pro 32 bit automatically connect to drives mapped to the startup?

    Hello

    It should connect as much as the other computers with their car are on the account users are properly configured, security passwords are defined and firewall do not block.

    If the system is only yours and there is no need of local network security, enable the guest account on all computers, give them all the permissions and there will be less to worry about connection mapped, but local drive without security.

    PS Ce preceding is based on cable connections. If the connections are wireless, it's another story.

    Due to the maturity of the wireless adapter and their support through the OS, automatic connection could not occur.

    Wireless is great, but most of us try to sneak out of it the uses it was not designed for.

  • Windows 7 x 64-network drives mapped disappeared following updates

    Since this morning, all network drives mapped our Organization have disappeared.  More than 85 users being affected.  By a process of elimination, we have reduced the problem to local machines running Windows 7 x 64.  We have also several PCs 10 Windows which are not affected.  We have also two PC of Windows 7 that have not activated the Windows updates, and both have no problems with the drive mappings.

    We go through the deletion process of upgrades that were completed this morning (03:00).  I will provide an update as soon as we find the root cause.

    Can we get some guidance as to a specific update that can affect the drive mappings?

    UPDATE 2 *.

    We have solved this problem by uninstalling the following Windows updates:

    Update for Microsoft Windows (KB3139923)

    Update for Microsoft Windows (KB3140245)

    Update for Microsoft Windows (KB3162835)

    Update of security for Microsoft Windows (KB3159398)
    Update of security for Microsoft Windows (KB3161561)

    (After removing these updates and reboot, it should also ask users to close the session and sign in again until the mapped drives returns.)

    REF. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3163622

    "Symptoms."

    All the user group policy, including those that have been filtered on security groups or user accounts, or both, security may not apply on computers joined to a domain. This problem may occur if the Group Policy object has the read permissions for the authenticated users group or if you use security filtering and lack read permissions for the domain computers group.

    Resolution

    To resolve this problem, use the GPMC Group Policy (GPMC. MSC) and follow one of the following steps:

    • Add the authenticated users group with the permissions to read on the Group Policy object (GPO).
    • If you use security filtering, add the computers group to the domain with the read permission. »

    -------------------------

    We solved this by adding authenticated users to the scope of the Group Policy object.

  • I can't use windows Explorer or the network drive mapping to access my NAS drive more.

    original title: strange NAS problem

    Hi everyone I can't seem to fix this strange problem.

    I can't use windows Explorer or the network drive mapping to access my NAS drive more.
    I am running windows 7 Professional 32-bit on my PC, and until about a week ago she accessed from my PC very well.

    The location could not be reached and have not been able to run since said today that I went to update it and the drive mapped. I'm at my wits end.

    Here is some info.

    I can access to other computers and devices on my network.

    I can access the internet.
    I have a windows XP PC in the House who can always connect to my fine NAS drive (even if it's not mine).
    I PING the NAS drive.
    The NAS drive will do the same if connected via cable or by wireless.

    UPDATE: after the implementation of a shared folder on a Windows XP computer on the same network I am also unable to acsess the part of my PC. So I can assume that I can't browse all share folders or NAS drives on my local network.

    Help, please.

    Thanks for the help, but I fixed my problem

    Here's what I did in case anyone wants to know.

    I went into Device Manager and went to network adapters.
    I then expanded this section and under view changed to display hidden items.
    Several hundred elements appears (for most 6to4 adapters) and I deleted all the.
    Then click scan for new hardware.
    And... everything works again! YAY!

  • Limits of the hard drive?

    Hello! I'm new to the site, please bear with me. I have a question on 2 computers and 1 hard disk. Computer # 1: Presario S6300NX; originally with 512 MB of memory and 120 GB hard drive ATA parallel; a currently 1 GB of memory and installed a second hard drive 80 GB Parallel ATA. Computer #2: Presario SR1315CL; originally with 512 MB of memory and 160 GB hard drive ATA parallel; currently has 2 GB of memory and a 320 GB SATA hard drive installed. The hard drive in question is a Western Digital 500 GB SATA. Two of these computers would argue that hard drive? I can't find a coherent response to the question of the limits of the hard drive.

    AMM, since your computers were made in 2003/2004, the SATA ports will be first-generation (1.5Gbit / s).  I think that the hard drive will work, but it will not perform up to his capabilities (3 Gbps).

  • A drive mapped on P to P does not load at startup upward.

    My question is similar, but may have a different answer.  I have a peer-to-peer network and my computer plays the main role.  In the morning he gets turned on first so that other computers can charge the player.  Some of my programs require that the mapped drive is the same on all computers like me.  The problem is that when I turn on my computer, it does not read the drive mapped on himself and he listed as disconnected.  I then manually go and plug.  Again, it is annoying more then anything.  Any suggestions?

    Hi Loreman,

     

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

    From the descriptions of the question, it seems that mapped drive does not load at startup to the top.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I'll help you fix the problem.

    Follow the methods and mark the question below:

    Method 1:

    Disable the antivirus software:

If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

     

     

    Method 2:
