Network share problems

I'm having major problems sharing folders from my PC - Vista Home
Premium. Almost evry day now, when someone tries to connect to a share
they get a message saying that the max number of connections has
already been made.
I've had a look at mmc/computer management/shared folders/sessions and
it appears that another PC running the same OS is making connections
as Guest even though my son assures me that he doesn't make these
connections. Odd thing is that I have the Guest account turned off? I
am also unable to close any of these sessions to free up the silly
limit of 10, all I get is an error message saying the file can't be
found?

Has anyone managed a fix for this please as I am getting very fed up
having to keep rebooting my PC to fix the problem. I do a lot of
Folding@xxxxxx and this means that it all has to start at the beginning
again!!

TIA



cheers,
Len

RE: Network share problems

You don't say what version of vista.

If home Premium, a max of 5 connections in your network.
