when i share a folder on windows xp , there is maximum allowed and allowed no
of user 10.
what is the maximum allowed , i need to allow more that 20 users to connect
to this xp pc. any setting to adjust ? currently if more than 10 connection.
the following users can not connect it anymore.
By design, the optimum size of a workgroup is 10 to 12 machines.
Beyond that number, network performance starts degrading noticeably and
the administrative head-aches start growing exponentially. Further,
WinXP Pro, like WinNT and Win2K, is a workstation OS and will allow a
maximum of 10 simultaneous connections.
If you need more connections, use a Server operating system.
