SMB connections seem to be maxed out, how to increase?

I've read many threads and have benefitted from them with regards to file sharing on our new Lion Mini server at 10.7.2.  My customer's environment is 25 clients, mostly windows: win 2000, xp, Vista, and Win 7; and three Mac pros 10.4 G5 and an iMac 10.6.  Just rewired the entire lan with cat 6 and a 10/100/1000 switch connected to a new Airport Extreme router.  The Lion server has the two 500gb drives, non-raid, with timemachine backing up to the second drive.  The customer's largest production folders exist on WD external drives connected via usb.  Initially that didn't work for sharing since they were ntfs and fat32 leftover from their cratered windows 2003 server.  Copied them to 1.5TB HTFS/journaled external WDs and they share fine now. 
A few days ago, the company's general manager (had to be him, right?) attempted to connect to one of the shared external drives on the Mini from his Win 7 laptop.  He previously had them mapped correctly as windows "drives" to these WD server drives.  But now, he gets a windows message reporting that the server has no more available connections.
I contacted the local Apple reseller, who said initially that the Lion Server has no limit to the number of users.  I thought that may not be the problem here. 
Then I spoke with their server specialist who told me to increase the number of allowed SMB connections.  I said ok, glad to, but how do I do that.  He said that Apple has de-tuned Lion Server and the abiity to fine tune it as it was previously under SL.
The client users that are connected to shares are either logged on as a standard user called "JPIshare", or connect as Guest.  Sharepoints objects are a) two folders on the main 500gb drive, and b) two external WD 1.5TB HTFS/journaled drives.  All clients were happily sharing all of this prior to the GM getting this message regarding one of the external drives.
How can I up the limit of SMB connections?
Thanks,
Dave Johnston

Hi, this has happend to me today and i was just wondering if you ever did resolve the problem ..???

  • I Can't Seem to Actually Figure Out How to Change my Podcast Feed :-S

    I'm reading the posts from Roger Wilmut1, and I have emailed Apple Support, but I just must be very dense, because I can't seem to figure out where to actually make the changes that I'm reading about. 
    A week ago, I received notice from BlipTV that my original, educational podcast (All About African Violets) apparently no longer complies with their terms of service.   I only have one week left for Blip to keep my existing feed open (but they disabled my account so I cannot upload any more episodes there).
    I have switched over to WordPress (where my website is hosted) to host my episodes, and I have nearly all of my episodes (50 so far) uploaded there.  I changed the feed in Feedburner to be correct for WordPress.  Then I tested it, and it worked.  Then, I attempted to try to add the new feed to iTunes.  I unsubcribed from my exiting podcast, and then attempted to resubscribe with the new feed.  Of course, it's not working.
    Apple support says I have to lose all my star ratings and reviews, and completely start over. Is that really true? 
    I'm feeling kinda foolish that I just can't seem to figure it out, but I am not a code writer.  I can see the full feed in Feedburner - is that where I make the changes I'm reading about?  I saw one about a new URL.  And, then do I still then have to submit the new feed?  Where do I do that?
    Sorry to seem to clueless, but this is very frustrating - I want to do it correctly.
    If there is someone who would be willing to walk me through this, I would be so grateful for the help.
    Thank you,
    Annie9797

    Roger - thank you so much for responding.  Originally - last year when I started my podcast, I submitted the BlipTV feed, and it's been working fine until they disabled my account.  Episodes 1-49 are there in the store, but Episode 50 (which is on WordPress) is not.
    On Feedburner, when I switched over to WordPress, I was instructed to change "Original Feed" to be as follows:  http://allaboutafricanviolets.com/feed/
    Here is what Feedburner says for Feedburner Feed:  http://feeds.feedburner.com/AllAboutAfricanViolets
    It also says that the Feed Title is:    All About African Violets
    I cannot access iTunes from where I am right now, so I cannot tell you what the store page URL is (I'm assuming that's my actual podcast page on iTunes - is that correct?), but if you go to the Podcast section in the store and search for All About African Violets, it's the only podcast that will come up  :-) 
    Thank you for taking the time to help me with this. :-)

  • I added a security exception for an untrusted connection and can't figure out how to remove the exception.

    The site is not unsafe site, but it's not what I wanted to do! How do I get rid of the exception?
    I've tried Tools --> Options, and then I've looked mostly in Security and Advanced
    I located the Encription area under Advanced, which looked promising, but I can't figure out which certificate I need to revoke; none of the say anything helpful like "user-requested exception" or anything like that.
    The exception should have been for either a currently offline site (local only right now), or for the site I was connecting to through an embedded You Tube link. I am not sure which site I added the exception for, though I think it was for YouTube (the site being connected to).

  • Can't figure out how to increase tempo curve for a track/region

    What I'm trying to accomplish:
    Using the heartbeat.aif (Audio) that comes with Logic Pro, I'd like to have the affect of increasing the speed of the heartbeat over a defined period of time.
    I've tried the "time machine" to change the BPM but it operates on the current selection in a region (there is no curve over time option). I've tried using Tempo Operations (Temp Curve) but those don't appear to work well with Audio files -- at least I was not able to get it to work well (suggestions are welcome).
    What would be perfect is an Automation process that includes Tempo where I could draw the tempo change line and then capture that to a new region (via the Sample Editor).
    As a temporary solution I could use the Time Machine to change smaller sections of the original source heartbeat.aif and do increment renders (i.e. 120.00 +50%, 120.00 + 100%, 120.00 + 150% and then merge the regions into one. But this does NOT provide a very smooth transition.
    Also tried adding a Tempo Fader and connecting it to Audio track, but adjusting tempo using this method caused all kinds of undesirable results even if I recorded to file and tried to use the resulting audio file.
    There must be something simple I'm missing -- any suggestions?
    Thanks, Rob.

    Yes this is an Apple Loop (Heartbeat.aiff).
    I must be missing something, I can't find any place in Logic Pro that lets me draw the Tempo?
    Are you talking about: Options | Tempo | Tempo Operations
    from here selecting "Create Tempo Curve"?
    If so, I can't find a way to actually draw the curve from here -- unless I'm missing something? I can select a pre-defined set of 3 curve types. I've tried this approach but didn't get the results I expected -- I'm guessing the Curvature value needs to be 1.0? In fact, the only values this field accepts is 1, 0, or -1. Manual indicates positive or negative to increase/decrease speed. I can change the resolution from 1/1 to 1/8 to a finer change.
    Regardless, I've experimented with this and no matter what I do, the audio region will change in the Arrange window but when I play the modified heartbeat it still sounds exactly the same, no change in tempo?? Is this a bug or am I just not doing something right?
    Thanks, Rob.

  • Mac Mini - has anyone figured out how to increase video RAM?

    More and more websites are offering live feeds, particularly Indycars and CART, but the Mac Mini is functionally useless for this application offering only "Stop motion", which is great for Laurel and Hardy or Buster Keaton, but not quite the thing for a rapidly moving sport.
    Has a hyper-intelligent mega being out there in Apple-land worked out a software patch to expand the memory capacity of the Graphics Card into normal RAM? After all the standard 64k is listed as "shared" memory, so could it be coaxed to grab a larger slice of the RAM cake?

    I belive this would be in the same vein of folks who want to manually control the use of Virtual Memory in Mac OS X. In six years, no one's been able to engineer that feat.
    My suggestion would be to buy a Mac that already meets your minimum requirements for your software.

  • How to increase font size on Safari browser itself?

    Hello All
    I have been using my iMac for only a couple of weeks now, but during that time I have searched high and low for a setting to adjust the size of the font on the Safari browser - NOT the text on the web pages it displays (I figured that bit out!), the text on the actual browser frame itself e.g. the bookmark title, the titles displayed on the tabs etc
    I also have not figured out how to increase the size of the text on the navigation bar at the top of my iMac where all of the available options for the program in use are displayed (file, edit, view and so forth)...
    I am very pleased with the Mac overall, but the issue of these tiny weeny text sizes on the Mac navigation systems is a problem - anyone with real eyesight troubles would certainly be in a pickle!
    Hopefully someone here will know what to do - I guess I just haven't found the secret yet!
    Thanks!

    Greetings,
    Sorry, but you can't change the size of the fonts or the menus in application windows. They aren't that small, so if you have trouble seeing them, you can use the Zoom feature of Universal Access to enlarge everything you move your mouse over. It's in System Preferences.

  • E-Rec 6.0: How to increase the tabs on Candidate Profile

    Hello,
    I'm trying to find out how to increase the tabs that we see on Candidate Profile. In any clients, only 5 tabs are visible on the profile and for more, the candidate clicks on next to view other tabs and then submit the profile. I searched for all configuration tables and code but could not find any.
    I appreciate if anyone could share this info if they know how to do this.
    Points would be awarded .
    Thank you
    K.

    Hi,
    You can configure the tabs at Technical Settings->User interfaces->Setting for BSP->Flexibilization->Container Sequences.
    if you want to add one tab, you have to define one element for container sequence and then assign it to the container of candidate profile at Modify Container Sequence.
    Best Regards,

  • Query Builder results seem to max out at 500 lines.  How to change?

    Hi all,
    Some of out Application Express users are using the Query Builder tool for ad-hoc reporting. The idea is to run the SQL to extract the data, then download to MS Excel. The Query Builder results seem to max out at 500 lines. I want to increase that value. I searched all Application Express forums for 'query builder output max 500' and then 'query builder output' and did not find the answer.
    How do I change the 500 line limit in Query Builder results?
    Thanks!

  • I'm trying to connect a BlueTooth headset to my Mac Mini. I can discover it, but soon after discovery it disconnects. Can't figure out how to reconnect. My only option seems to be re-discovery

    I can discover the headset, but soon after discovery it disconnects. Haven't been able to figure out how to try to re-connect. And the help section titled "Use BlueTooth has absolutely no information on how to use it. All I can do is re-discover it. Every time I rediscover it, it disconnects shortly afterward. This headset works well with both my iPhone and iPad and has for quite some time. But it won't stay connected to my Mac.

    Tried with another headset that works fine with iPhone and iPad. An LG HBS700. Same problem. It connects for maybe 10 seconds and then disconnects. So it must be a problem on the Mac. But this Mini is out of warrentee so taking it into an Apple store to get it repaired isn't a good solution. Maybe as a last resort.
    Is there a way to select connect on the Mac? Everything else I've connected a BlueTooth device to has both a command for pairing and a command for connecting or reconnecting. I can't figure out how to select connect on the Mac.

  • I am trying to connect my new iMac to my Buffalo router.  I forgot my router password, so I reset it and it is working.  I can't figure out how to reset my router password and lock it on my iMac.

    I am connecting my new iMac to my Buffalo router.  I forgot my router password so I pushed the reset button and my computer was able to connect.  The problem is, I can't figure out how to set my new password and lock the router.  I went to the Buffalo website and downloaded the CD, as I can't find that either.  I can't open any of it because it says it is Windows and can't open it.  I am new to Apple!

    Ah, new to routers too.
    Perhaps it's best to have a local computer support person come set you up?
    To explain everything would require writing a book here.
    But this is what you want basically.
    Router, new Wireless N, firmware updated.
    1: Two accounts, one admin, one guest Internet access. Random +30 plus character lenght passwords each preferred.
    (guest password to max password length of any iDevices)
    2: Encryption: WPA2 AES. No Ping. No remote access. No MAC filtering. Visible.
    3: Guest access on devices and computers only.  Passwords written down and stored.
    4: OpenDNS preferred but not mandatory.
    If you get OpenDNS, you can log into their website for free and set parental controls on things like inappropriate sites for children. So whatever device is used on your network can't access a large portion of those sites (nothing is perfect) by most users who are not technical oriented.
    What your doing now is running the bare bones unsecure router which can be used harmfully against you.
    Even a Apple Airport router has to be very well secured. The defautl cd and out of the box setup is not a secure solution.

  • I want to download my itunes library to my shuffle. can't seem to figure out how to do this. can you help me?

    I want to download my itunes library to my shuffle. Can't seem to figure out how to do this. Can anybody help?

    You probably need to set up automatic syncing.  Select the shuffle in iTunes.  You see a row of "tabs" (buttons) starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This is the iPod's Music tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the shuffle.
    Check the box for Sync Music.  If your iTunes music library is small enough to fit on the shuffle, you can choose to sync Entire music library.  Then click Apply.
    Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres, then select (checkmark) the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres that you want on the shuffle, from the lists below.
    Here's one convenient way to set it up.  In your iTunes library, create a new regular playlist; call it something like "iPod Songs" (or whatever you want).  From your iTunes music library, load that iPod Songs playlist with ALL the songs you want on the shuffle.  On the shuffle's Music tab, find and checkmark that iPod Songs playlist (under Playlists).  When you click Apply, those songs sync to the shuffle.  Going forward, to update songs on the shuffle, just update that iPod Songs playlist in iTunes (add and/or remove songs) and then connect your shuffle.  iTunes automatically updates the shuffle with the same changes.  If the iPod is already connected, click the Sync button to update the iPod.
    If you have any specific question, please post back.

  • Need to find out a way to figure out how DB2 connect to Oracle and data mirroring etc.

    Hi, Gurus,
    I just take over a project which source is ICOMS as400 db2 database. Seems data mirro CDC is used to replicate from DB2 to oracle.
    I am very new to this datamirror CDC , plus I am new to figure out how db2 connect to oracle, is that through db link or what? or is there tnsnames entry?
    I would like anybody in this forum can point me to the right direction.
    Thanks in advance.

    user9233598, if mirroring/replication from DB2 to Oracle already exists then question is what product is being used?  If the product has already been purchased then I do not think it is very likely that management is going to want to purchase another product so I do not see how extra-cost Golden Gate or other Oracle Gateway features apply if those are not currently in use.  If Golden Gate or the Oracle Transparent Gateway are in use then you already have your answer
    Oracle supports ODBC/JODBC and the replication application on the AS400 likely uses these features or a thick Oracle client as the interface to Oracle.
