XP networking problem

[Gerald Shaw]

I'm also getting the \\Reception not accessible error.
Have to different clients with same problem.
A windows XP home pc act as server for Exact software.
We see that as soon as we lock more than 5 pc's on, it
kicks the next user off.

Any ideas

Thanks

Windows XP has a hard coded limit of 5 concurrent connections. If you need
more you'll need to use a different operating system.

The limit is 5 for Home Edition and 10 for Professional. Details
