Group,
I have xp home as a file server with 4 workstations connected. When I try to
connect #5, it says I already have reached the maximum number of
connections. I do have an HP printer with built-in printserver on the
network. Could that be the problem?
Thanks,
Wade
 
Yes. That would be your 5th allowed connection.

Yes. Either upgrade your pseudo-server to XP Pro or an MS Server OS such
as SBS 2003 OR if you are only using it for a file server (and not
running Windows programs from it) you can install a Linux distro on it
instead.

XP

5 for XP Home
10 for XP Pro/Tablet/MCE
49 for SBS 2000
74 for SBS 2003
Unlimited for full Server O/Ses
