JSI Tip 2285. CSNW fails to connect to preferred server?

If your CSNW client receives:

        NetWare Authentication Failure         You cannot be authenticated on  due to the following reason: A connection to the server could not        be made because the limit on the number of concurrent connections for this account has been reached.         Do you want to select another preferred server?

the client probably either created a new printer or printed to an existing printer and logged off / on in a short time period.

In Windows NT 4.0, the workaround is to shutdown after a CSNW client creates a printer. If this happens when printing to an existing printer, disable all spooler logging:

1. Control Panel / Printers / File / Server Properties / Advanced.

2. Disable all Log Spooler options.

3. Press OK.

4. Shutdown and restart your computer.

In Windows 2000, just clear:

        Log Spooler error events        Log Spooler warning events        Log Spooler Information events
