0x8801 CONN INVALID
Source
Client Services
Explanation
An attempt by an application to request a connection failed. If a connection is closed, it becomes invalid.
Possible Cause
The connection handle that is being used by the requesting application no longer refers to a given connection slot in the requester's connection table. In this case, the application, such as an executable file or driver, might be out of date.
Possible Cause
An application might request that a connection be closed without any regard to other applications that point to the open connection.
Action
Try the task again. If the error persists, contact the developer of the application for the latest version of the application.
Possible Cause
The server ran out of connections.
Action
To free a connection, have a user who is connected to the server log out. Or, to increase the number of connections allowed for that server, go to a workstation where a user is connected to the server and has Supervisor rights, and increase the number of connnections allowed.
Possible Cause
The software might not allow more connections for the client. For example, in some of the NetWare® 3.12 utilities, like MAP and CAPTURE, this error will be returned if the workstation is attached to 9 or more servers. In NetWare 3.12, these utilities were designed to provide functionality for only 8 servers.
Action
If you desire to increase the number of connections that a workstation can have, use a version of the software that will allow more connections. The utilities in NetWare 4 and later versions allow this number of connections.
Possible Cause
The connection might have been closed at the server, such as by an administrator clearing a connection using MONITOR.
Action
If desired, have the user log in again to the network.
