I have 25 computers mapped to a folder on a PC which has a back end database in it
It has been running like this for several months without a problem
But since yesterday I have had to go to each machine and re map the shared folder on the backend PC
3 more computers had to be remapped this morning.
One computer would not open the workgroup to connect to the coputer, it suggested that there was a permission problem, or computer being connected to has reached maximum no of connections

Has anyone seen this problem before and is there a solution.

What OS are you using? I had this problem with Windows XP Home...

What I did as a workaround was to add a .bat file in the startup for the PC (or as a scheduled task) to do the following:

net use z: \\server\share /user:username password

Hope that helps.
