[Samba] Hiting a limit to the number of connections

[Neil Swallow]

I am running Irix 6.5.12 and samba version 2.2.1 and am getting the
following error message when trying to log onto a windows machine that has a
samba mount mapped.

System error 71 has occurred.

No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this time because
there are already as many connections as the computer can accept.

Any help would be appreciated as I am a newbie where samba is concerned

Thanks Neil
