Probably.  There is a limit of how many shares that can be enumerated total,
but it is in the neighborhood of several thousands.  The exact number is
based on the limit of the browse list size.

Long before you hit that point, the "My Briefcase" replication feature will
stop working.

So it is better to limit the number of publically visable share points just
so you do not overload the poor M$soft clients.
