Filesharing Woes: STATUS_REQUEST_NOT_ACCEPTED

If you're having trouble filesharing to a Windows machine and notice the error "STATUS_REQUEST_NOT_ACCEPTED" within a packet sniffer such as WireShark, check that the user limit has not been reached for the share. Run "compmgmt.msc" from the start/run box, navigate to "Shared Folders", "Shares", and check the properties for the share. "Allow this number of users:" may be your culprit if it's selected. Bump up the value to allow more users to the resource if necessary.
