Guest Tester Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Hello there, Is there a way to reset or decrease the number of IPC$ logged under computer management, shared folders, shares on an XP machine? My goal is to reduce the number of client connections. I have an XP machine sharing some folders and although the number of incoming PCs connecting to the shares is only 5 I am already getting no more connections can be made to this machine error. I noticed the IPC$ is high under the client connections, the shared folders connections is normal. With only 5 PCs connected to shares I already have 10 or more IPC$ counting against the client connections limit. Thank you, T
Guest Bob I Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Re: reset IPC$ number Those are administrative shares, if you need a server, then I'd suggest you use one.

Until I cannot find an answer for this I cannot move to a server. Thank you, T
Guest harrykrishna.nospam@online.ie Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Re: reset IPC$ number Would reducint the idle time before a disconnect help? Go to a cmd prompt and type NET CONFIG SERVER to see your current settings. To reduce idle time try NET CONFIG SERVER /AUTODISCONNECT:2 That would drop the idle connection after 2 minutes...

Actually the setting that helped the most was KB 328459[anonymous shares]. Thank you, T
