No more connections can be made

[Jackie]

Sometimes a computer receives the message "No more
connections can be made to this remote ccomputer at this
time because there are already as many connections as the
computer can accept." The computers are on a peer-to-peer
network with the server using Windows XP Pro. The other
computers are Windows 95, 98, 2000, ans XP pro. I have
tried to locate
hkey_local_machine\system\currentcontrol\services\lanmanser
ver\parameters\users to change the amount from 0x0a to
0xFFFFFFFF. I can not find the users to change the
amount. I am not sure that is the problem since the
server is not using a server version. Anyone have any
ideas??
Thanks.

XP home has a 5 inbound connection limit where as pro has a 10
connection limit. However, this only affects current connections. As
one connection halts it opens space for a new connection. For example if
you have 10 computers all running xp home and 9 of them want to copy the
same document off of the same system, then only 5 can connect at a time.
If the "host" machine is running XP pro then they they can all connect
at the same time.

According to MS this limit is not optional ie we can't change it.
