"Network BIOS session limit was exceeded."
Just built a new Vista Ultimate (32) PC. For backing up data folders,
I connect (via UNC) to it from a Windows 2003 Server which runs SmartSync, a folder syncing utility. This worked flawlessly with the previous XP client. With the Vist client, it works for awhile, and then starts erroring out with the error "the network BIOS session limit was exceeded," and at that point I can't connect to the shares on the Vista PC at all from the 2003 server, until I reboot the Vista PC. Then everything works again...until it eventually errors out the same way. It's as if there's some sort of transfer limit set within Vista and after it exceeds whatever this limit is, it blocks all connections until after it reboots. The KB lists this particular error, but it has to do with Win2000 IIS/FTP servers, not Vista. Anyone seen this before?

In most cases, this is firmware issue. Check if there is a new firmware available.

You mean the firmware for the NIC on the Vista client? It's a gigabit
port integrated into the (ASUS P5W DG Dekuxe) motherboard and I don't think there's a firmware update for it. Maybe I can try another NIC in the meantime. Thanks for the suggestion.
