How many connections to windows XP

[Guest]

Good morning,
i want to know how many connections can windows XP Pro can handle at the
same time. i want to install a computer to act as a print server and i have
about 30 people who will use it. it will replace an older system which is
running windows 2000 server. i do not need to have win2k server installed,
because i'd rather use the l;icense for another place.
thanks

Professional and Windows XP Home Edition. The main differences involve
connection limits and simplification. While Windows XP Professional allows
up to 10 simultaneous file-sharing connections, Windows XP Home Edition
allows up to five connections only.

Another solution may be to simply add a small print server...
