I have a computer lab that is set up peer to peer with tcp/ip and Netbui. I keep getting a message that too many computers are accessing the one computer that has the printer attached to it (the printer is set up to be shared with all the other computers). My question is Why? And how do i prevent that from happening?

Thanks in advance,
Dave
 
How many PC's are we talking about? Are all machines W2K pro? If so, there's a limit of 10 concurrent connections...
 
maybe 20 computers in all, all win2kpro.. Nice to know about the 10 limit.. Thanks.
I set up a print server, so that should aleviate that issue.

Thanks
