Other entries may be displayed if you added shared resources to your server.

If either of these commands fails consistently, then there is a problem with broadcast communications over the network. If these commands succeed, you can use the tests in the next section.

Is the Server Supporting a Maximum Number of Users?

When a connectivity problem occurs, ensure that your server has not exceeded the maximum number of clients that it is configured to support. This number is indicated by the maxclients parameter in the server lanman.ini file. It can be displayed using the srvconfig - g maxclients command.

Has the Advanced Server Registry Been Corrupted?

Execute the regcheck -Ccommand to determine whether the internal format of the registry file has been corrupted. If this command detects corruption, execute the regcheck -Rcommand to repair the registry file.

If invalid values have been entered in the Advanced Server Registry, the you can use the regload command to reinitialize all registry values to their defaults.

Can the Server be Contacted From a Client?

Attempt to log on to the server from a client computer. If the logon is successful, link a virtual drive ID to a shared resource. Then, view the contents of the linked drive.

If you have problems with these steps, isolate each problem using the following procedure.
