SYMPTOMS
After you share a Gateway Service for NetWare (GSNW) session, the following event log appears in the Event Viewer when a Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 client computer attempts to connect to the Windows NT server share:

Event ID: 2022

Source: SRV

Type: Error

Description: The server was unable to find a free connection

times in the last seconds.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, you can modify the registry.

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.

 Run the Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).  From the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree, go to the following subkey:

     \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters

 On the Edit menu, click Add Value.  Add the following:

     Value Name:   MaxFreeConnections Data Type:   REG_DWORD Data:        8

Value Name:  MaxWorkItems Data Type:   REG_DWORD Data:        255

NOTE: The maximum number for Work Items is 512. You should use 255 first, and then increase it as needed, up to a maximum of 512.

 Quit Registry Editor. Shut down and restart Windows NT.</li></ol>
