Is there a way to increase the number of users on a network? We seems to be
stuck at 6.
 
One cannot increase the limit beyond five in XP Home.

It maybe me, it is after 2 am here, but the article you refer to talks about
'simultaneously connect ' so from that I assume that you can have more than
5 XP Home PCs in a network, just do not go mad on mapping etc.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

You're correct. But bear in mind one a single remote computer may need
to make more than one connection to the host PC, particularly if there
are shared folders and a shared printer involved.
