  2. Microsoft Windows Network: Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name are not allowed.

    Hi Sheik,



    Thanks for the update. We apologize for the delay in response.



    The pop-up will show on the screen until the changes are laid on all the files and folders you are making changes to. Click on
    Continue until the pop-up disappears and check if the issue is resolved.



    The above issue might occur if you do not have a healthy internet connection on your PC or the PC from which the folder is inaccessible. Since
    Public folder is accessible by other PCs on the network, the internet connection on the all the connected machines should be healthy to prevent any issues from occurring.



    Henceforth if you are to face the above issue, restart the PCs i.e. the one to access the folder and the one to share on the network and check if the issue is resolved. Also check the network connection availability on the machines.



    Write to us with the status of the issue for further assistance. Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.



    Thank you.

  3. Microsoft Windows Network: Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name are not allowed.

    The only changes I made to the public folder were updating the sharing options for the 3 users who need read/write access to that folder. I tried to Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object
    using the procedure above. This popup appeared after clicking ok.

    Those are all Virtual Machine connections.

    Not true, in fact I would be willing to bet OP's case has nothing to do with virtual machines. A VPN client usually creates a TAP connection. In screenshot from my PC the TAP connection created by CyberGhost VPN, the one I use:

    Nothing to do with virtual machine connections.


    Some badly coded VPN clients leave the old ones and create a new whenever VPN connection is made. Simply select all TAP connections and delete them, your VPN client will be able to create a new one when needed.
