Issue a net use, it will list all open connection. Find the ones pointing to \\192.168.1.1 and delete them with

net use <\\server\share> /del

Hope it helps,

Will test this out, Do we have a command to check how many connection are used by the user/ for a share.

net file - shows you the files in use.
net session - shows connected users

I think to view open shares is not possible with net.

Hi
Thanks for quick revert

Net file say
There are no entries in the list.

Net Session says

There are no entries in the list.
When we do
net use \\192.168.1.1\temp /del
it says
The network connection could not be found.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2250.

But when we try to connect to the same share we get

net use \\192.168.1.1\temp password /user:administrator

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 and try again.

Not able to troubleshoot how to fix this. Please help

What does

net use

say?

The output of net use is
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New connections will be remembered.

Status Local Remote Network

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK \\win20\temp Microsoft Windows Network
Disconnected \\192.168.1.1\IPC$ Microsoft Windows Network
The command completed successfully.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Both the name point to same machine ie win20 is having IP 192.168.1.1
We are trying to connect using IP.
The second line is the problem ...

Hi Thanks
We are now not getting this error.
We think IPC$ is causing problem. After disconnecting we got the new connection.

Thanks
