Error 84: There Are Too Many Network Redirections... (123153)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS 3.11
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups
This article was previously published under Q123153 SYMPTOMS
When you start the real-mode network with the basic redirector by running
the NET USE, NET START BASIC, or NET START WORKSTATION command, you receive
one of the following error messages:
- Error 84: There are too many network redirections.
-or- - Cannot reconnect <x>: to \\<server>\<share> (Error 84)
where <x> is the network drive letter.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because the real-mode basic redirector that is packaged
with Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS is limited
to a maximum of ten connections (sessions) to network resources (printers
and drive connections).
The above errors can occur if you make more than ten connections in
Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS or Windows for Workgroups and you then quit
Windows or Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS and start the real-mode redirector
with the NET START BASIC command.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, load the full redirector with the NET START
FULL command.
NOTE: Increasing the value of the SESSIONS= line in the PROTOCOL.INI file
has no effect on the number of sessions that can be established with the
basic redirector. The SESSIONS= entry is valid for the full redirector
only.
