Not so much the number of computers, but there is a simultaneous connection
limit. As I recall it was 10 for Pro and 5 for Home (just checked, yes - 5
for XP Home and 10 for XP Pro).

OP should be receiving a message "No more connections can be made" if
attempting to access shared resources on a XP Home or Pro machine
