PRB: Multiple NET VIEWs Cause Workstation Connection Problems ID Number: Q63789

2.00 OS/2

Summary:

SYMPTOMS After running a batch file that executes multiple NET VIEW statements from the OS/2 system prompt, it is impossible to connect to any network resources and the following error message occurs:

OS/2 error 69 has occurred. SYS0069: Network BIOS session limit was exceeded CAUSE This is normal and expected behavior. NET VIEW makes temporary connections to net resources using second class mailslots until the value in the NetBIOS session table is exceeded. Although the session table is updated periodically, it is possible to exhaust the number of connections temporarily available through the batch file described above. After a minute, however, the session table should clear, and you should be able to again connect to those resources.
