Nobody responded to my first post about this (#1937?), so I ask again with updated info:

I can't seem to connect to more than 15 workstations in Thumbnail view. In ver.3.x, I had no problem connecting and seeing all 27 workstations in my lab. Now in ver. 4.0.4, I place (Ctrl-T) all 27 in Thumbnail view and only the first 15 can connect. The remain 12 remain disconnected. When I clear out this view and then place only those 12 in Thumbnail view, they connect, so I don't think it's specifically related to those machines. It just wants to connect whatever first 15 machines are in the list.

Can anyone help me???

Thank you in advance!

The only thing I can think of is maybe the open port limitation in Windows XP and Vista.  Google for this, and you'll find a fix.  Something about replacing a .dll file in Windows, which of course is not easy as Windows tries to "fix" any new file that it's not ready for.  Anyway, try that and see.  If I can remember where I got this last time, I'll post it here...

This is my sig...

I did Google it, and I found a patch that removed that limitation for open ports for TCP. I installed it, but it did not have any effect on the number of connected thumbnails (still at 15 or 16). It was a nice idea, though Smile ! Again I did not have this problem with version 3.X. I could see all 27 thumbnails just fine, and they were updating every 5 seconds or so. Nothing has really changed with my OS (XP Pro) except maybe a MS update.

Jim,
the TCP patch won't have no effect on the Thumbnails View performance. But it's still a good idea to have it installed, since it would improve performance of Dynamic Search Folders and VNC/RDP Status Update scans.

I will do some testing with the Thumbnails View and report the test results here.
