Maximum number of connections exceeded
Maximum number of connections exceeded is the message I get when trying to map a 5th machine to the same network drive. I understand that the limit is 10, so there may be "old" connections to this drive that are taking up space. How do I find what is mapped to the host drive and disconnect the connections I don't want?

The OS is XP Pro, so 10 should be the magic number. I'll have to try jahboite's solution, thanx

I don't have a My Computer icon on the desktop to right click. Is there another way to get to "Manage" or "expand Shared Folders" ?

Which OS exactly? Windows XP Home Edition allows 5 concurrent connections, Professional allow 10.
