How many machines do you have trying to access the files on the remote
machine? Remember, if you're serving files from NT Workstation or XP,
Microsoft limits you to 10 connections only. In practice this usually works
out to be around 6 after you take into consdiration browsr connections and
the fact that a connection usually won't be dropped for quite a while after
it's no longer needed. Take a look in computer management, under sharing.
