XP Prof. as a Server

K

Kevin Foley

Can I run XP Prof. as a server like Windows 2000 or Windows 2003?

I have 6 PC's who want to connect to one server that shares all resources.

Printing, files etc.

The 6 pc's are also Windows XP Prof.

You can use XP Pro as a file/print server, for up to 10 simultaneous
connections. (XP Home will allow 5). You can't have simultaneous desktop
sessions, i.e. 5 people running an application that lives on the
'server', for that you need a proper server OS (the XP version has just
been released. Bring big cheque!).
