Running a client OS like XP as a server is asking for this kind of problems. Better switch to Windows Server.
From your story it isn't clear why the Vista computer makes 2 connections. Maybe that's inherent to Vista, maybe it's something special with that machine. So I'd start experimenting with another Vista machine to see how that works.

currently, i'm handling a server using Windows XP Pro while waiting for an upgrade.
i understand that windows XP Pro limit 10 concurrent connection and so here is my problem :
we have 10 computer that need to access shared file by creating mapped drive from the server while one of our computer, running windows vista, keep using 2 sessions that makes the 10th computer couldn't established the connection.
How can i limit that windows vista computer to 1 session only?
Helps and guides are much appreaciated. Thanks
