https://community.hpe.com/t5/backoffice-products/browse-the-network-error/m-p/2747728#M735 I think I have found the answer in microsoft Q135404. The server has 2 network cards and the solution was to break the binding for the workstation service on one of the cards.<BR /><BR />John.

They are told that the domain is not accepting any more connections. It is allways possible to connect by typing the network address.<BR /><BR />I have a small (50 users) netword running NT 4 server sp6 as my domain controller. My server is much higher spec than required for the job.<BR /><BR />Thanks,<BR /><BR />John.

Do you have enough licenses to cover all 50 users?<BR /><BR />Did you go per server or per seat?<BR /><BR /><BR />Jon<BR /> Wed, 19 Jun 2002 17:26:44 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/backoffice-products/browse-the-network-error/m-p/2747725#M732 Jon Finley 2002-06-19T17:26:44Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/backoffice-products/browse-the-network-error/m-p/2747726#M733 Microsoft also states that if the WINS server doesn't reference itself as the Primary and Secondary WINS server that (in rare conditions) it may loose connectivity.<BR /><BR /><A href="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q150520" target="_blank">http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q150520</A><BR /><BR /><BR />Jon<BR /> Wed, 19 Jun 2002 17:50:30 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/backoffice-products/browse-the-network-error/m-p/2747726#M733 Jon Finley 2002-06-19T17:50:30Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/backoffice-products/browse-the-network-error/m-p/2747727#M734 The exact error message my users receive is:-<BR /><BR />Pti is not accessible. No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this time because there are already as many connections as the computer can accept.<BR /><BR />PTI is my domain name and not my server name. There is no shortage of licenses or resources on my server. I get no error messages in the event log on the server but the following appears on the event log on the user pc.<BR /><BR />The browser service has failed to retrieve the backup list too many times on transport \Device\NetBT_El90x1. The backup browser is stopping. <BR /><BR />The source of this error is Browser with event is 8032 and no category.
