XP Work Group Network Error: No more connections can be made

[Guest]

No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this time because
there are already as many connections as the computer can accept.

Is there a way to change the number of connections a work group computer can
have at one time?

You will need a new operating system.

Really? Why don't you tell us how then? Lots of us like messing with the
Registry.
