SYMPTOMS
A client that accesses a file share on an OS/2 server may consume all the NetBIOS sessions on the server. The server may generate a Net 3101 report that indicates that the server ran out of resources.



CAUSE
When a new session is initiated, the redirector sends a SessionSetup SMB with the VC number set to 0. This indicates that this is a new session, and clears all previous sessions.

Because the OS/2 SMB servers does not end the previous session, NetBIOS sessions on the server side are used up. This leads to the Net 3101 Error on the OS/2 server.
