Hi all. I’ve been running into a issue connecting to windows smb shares with KDE Dolphin. I just found the problem, but am unsure of how to deal with it. On windows, the max number of sessions is 20, it seems like. Dolphin seems to have no limit to how many connection sessions it makes. Basically, I keep getting asked for the password for the windows 11 smb server over and over. sometimes I am able to get it to work, other times i keep getting bombarded with incorrect password, or access denied, even though the password is correct and I have full access rights. when viewing event viewer on my windows 11 machine, I found that it gives an error saying that the max number of connections has been exceeded hence the error. the exact error is
Status: 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. (0xC00000D0)
I’ve gotten this error a number of times now in the windows event viewer logs. It seems like if there are too many connections made then is there a way to impose a limit on dolphin so this doesn’t happen? As a workaround, closing all smb connections and waiting a bit seems to resolve the issue.
