Does anyone know how many peer-to-peer sations can be
added using Windows XP home edition. I received an e-
mail stating that it's a maximum of 5 but the help menu
states 10. Anyone know what the correct number is?
There's no limit to the number of computers on a peer-to-peer network
with Windows XP Home Edition.
A Windows XP Home Edition computer allows a maximum of 5 other
computers to connect to its shared resources simultaneously. Windows
XP Professional allows a maximum of 10 other computers to connect to
its shared resources simultaneously. Computers that aren't actively
connected to a computer's shared resources don't count against the
limit. When a computer disconnects from a shared resource, it no
longer counts against the limit. See this site for more information:
