Guest michael Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 I have a WXP pro pc on a network, identical to all other pcs on the network. It has been running fine, but I needed to rename the pc and received an error after attempting that: "Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource." This is something I have done literally a thousand times in my domain with many different pcs and never had a problem. This is the ONLY pc this user has, so I don't understand the "multiple connections" part of the error. Please help!

It could be that some other PC/user(s) have the shared resource open during the rename.
