Card Limit for EyeFi Helper?

[dchapma1]

Is there a card limit for the number of EyeFi cards that can be used together at a site? I know there as a 20 card account limit.

I have a site with 6 cards and when I go to use the 7th card/camera It will not connect and work.

The EyeFi Log says "Failed to create directory \\SourcePhotos Error message boost file system exist. No more connections cam be made to this remote computer at this time because there are already as many connections as the computer can accept. Code 71.

So is this an EyeFi error or a Windows Networking error?

Thanks

The card limit has been raised to 40 cards per an account.

I believe that 4 cards can transfer at a single given time. That being the case, if you have 7 cards, only 4 will be transferring at one time.

Could you provide the card log with that message? It would also be useful to take a look at your helper log. Here are instructions to retrieve both:
