Problems accessing os/2 share from windows

I have setup ECS 1.2R to access a simple workgroup (peer networking), to 
share network files with 2 windows machines (win2k and vista).  After 
logging into the workgroup in ECS/os2 machine, I have no problems 
accessing the windows shared folders. The windows machines can see the os2 
machine, and if I click it in the network browser it shows the shared os2 
folder, but if I try to open the os2 shared folder from windows it reports 
"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."


I saw this registry change listed on this forum:
http://www.os2world.com/cgi-bin/ultraboard/UltraBoard.cgi?action=Read&BID=59
&TID=787&SID= 

But that didn't make a difference. On the os2 side the shared folder is 
set for "unlimited" connections in the properties.. and I have played
with 
the user settings both giving priviledges to all as well as setting up 
individual users to match the windows users. Either way I get the same 
results.  Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Any advice is very appreciated!
Thanks,
David

Also, in case it matters. All machines are using dhcp. I have tried it 
both with and without NetBEUI protocol installed on the windows box and it 
didnt seem to make a difference (right now it's just the default windows 
install, NetBEUI over tcp/ip).

Thank you Andreas! That registry change made it work instantly :).. it was 
a good feeling after hours of trying to get it working.

For W$ 5.0 you need SP4 (and for W$ 5.1 SP1). Additionally, you have to
add a registry setting:

| 1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
| 2. Locate and then click the following key in the registry:
|    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet
|    \Services\lanmanworkstation\parameters
| 3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD.
| 4. Type EnableDownLevelLogOff, and then press ENTER.
| 5. On the Edit menu, click Modify.
| 6. Type 1, and then click OK.
