Map drive connection limit?

I have one computer I am using as my "server" and that hard drive is marked
as a shared drive.
The other 20 computers on the network can all access it fine.
But during the day, when we get busy some of the machines get a error that
they can not access the drive any more.
Some one told me the XP Pro has a limit of 10 connection for a shared drive.
Is this true and if so is there a work around?

Thanks in advance.

You are correct about the connection limit: XP Pro - 10 connections.

The only workaround is to get Server 2003.
