SYMPTOMS
When you log on to or map a drive to a Novell NetWare server, you receive a message box with the following error message:
Windows NT 3.51:
Windows NT 4.0:
NOTE: Server and share are the respective NetWare names.
Windows 95:
CAUSE
The client connection limit on the NetWare server has been exceeded.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, do one of the following:
- Disconnect some clients who may be logged on to the server but not currently using its services.
- Load NLICLEAR POLL=xxx CONN=xxx to clear NOT-LOGGED-IN connections. POLL= range is 15 to 3600 seconds. Default is 60 CONN= this number causes NLICLEAR to clear only those NOT-LOGGED-IN connections that occupy the last xxx connections.
- Purchase additional licenses from Novell so that the server is qualified to process the additional login requests.
MORE INFORMATION
Novell NetWare servers are sold with a limit to the number of concurrent clients that can log on to the server. Additional license packs can be purchased to extend the number of connections for which a server is licensed. When this limit is reached, no additional clients will be successfully logged on to the server.
