SYMPTOMS

When you open multiple Properties windows for the wireless connection in Windows Vista, you may receive the following error message:

Windows has encountered an error saving the wireless profile.
Specific error: An attempt was made to establish a session to a network server, but there are already too many sessions established to that server.

For example, this problem may occur if you open the Network and Sharing center, and then you click the network icon for the wireless connection many times.

Note If you make changes in multiple open Properties windows for the wireless connection, not all these changes are retained. The only changes that are retained are the ones that you make in the last window that you close. Changes that you make in all the other windows are lost.
