Failed to start monitoring changes

i'm not sure if this problem belong to this forum, but it started only after a start to use visual studio express (web developer).

when i try to build a website i get the folowing error:

"Error 1 An error occurred loading a configuration file: Failed to start monitoring changes to 'Z:\lina\a\pics' because the network BIOS command limit has been reached. For more information on this error, please refer to Microsoft knowledge base article 810886. Hosting on a UNC share is not supported for the Windows XP Platform. Z:\lina\a\pics\web.config "

"Z:" is a network drive located on difrrent computer.

i read the knowledge base article 810886 and i change all the registry values to the maximum, but still, the error stays.

please help.

I don't think the KB article is going to solve your problem. Have a look at the last sentence of error message:

Hosting on a UNC share is not supported for the Windows XP Platform.

Have you tried moving the files to a local drive and seeing if that works
Kathleen Koclanes
it works perfectly on a local drive, but i have to use it on a network drive (3 diffrent computers working on the same project).
is there any setting change i can do that will let me build project locate on a network drive

and i'm not sure the problem is with "Hosting on a UNC share is not supported for the Windows XP Platform" becaouse some of my project, the small onces, can be build from a network drive.

Hi!

If you've got multiple people working on the same project, or multiple computers, I'd suggest using Visual Source Safe or something similar, as that'll protect from changes getting munged from one computer to another.

The other option could be to open the application via FrontPage server extensions, instead of via the file system. That will work for the most part, though if your server is Windows XP, you're only allowed 10 connections, and you'll likely run into problems with that.

The best place for asking ASP.NET questions is on the ASP.NET community site, and in the forums there. Check out http://www.asp.net/welcome.aspx tabindex=1&tabid=39.

Hi,

I'm surprised by your interest.

Our server is Novell Netware.

We was developing projects with fileserver and it was OK ( with Borland ).

It was unexpected to read this error message after opening project in Visual Studio...
