Workgroup network shares limit

[Guest]

I've a workgroup with 15 machines. 8 WinXP HOME Ed. 9 Win98se and 1. WinXP
Pro. This one has shares on different folders with all the other machines,
but I see limit from most of the computers connected like "116043 Network
Share Access Denied After Limit Met, Then a Disconnect" or something like
that.

any idea

Giancarlo,

The limit that you're running into is the number of simultaneous connections to
any server (computer providing shares) in your workgroup. You can have as many
servers, and as many total shares, as you wish. But you're limited to 5
simultaneous connections (XP Home) or 10 simultaneous connections (XP Pro) for
any XP server.
