Does anyone have any suggestions on how many people can access the shared
files for XP at the same time? In office, there are 35 people, and I would
like to setup XP for file sharing, based on the accessibility limitation for
XP, I have maximum 5 PCs for sharing. Does anyone have any suggestions on
how to plan the network structure?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

On a LAN this size it would be hard to justify continuing without a proper
fileserver. Apart from the limit on connections, having 35 people storing
data in random (and uncontrolled) locations will be sheer chaos.

Server 2003 would be a good choice, or if you're strapped for cash and
prepared to burn some midnight oil learning a new system, Debian or Ubuntu
Server.
