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 In this case, the application, such as an executable file or driver, might be out of date.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.
