    Hi, In my company,at a same time..we are connecting to single machine(as server machine) through RUN command.At the time, we cannot(more than 10 peaople) connected to that particular machine. When 11th machine entering the IP address in his RUN command and click O.K It shows the message as "No more COnnections can be made at this time". When we ask about this to our System ADmin,he told that single machine (as server) has OS as WIndows XP.For the reason only we cannot get connected morethan 10 machines. If the Machine is 2000 server or 2003 server OS. then there is no problem for connecting more than 10 machines. iS it true? Is there any solution to connect more than 10 machines in window XP machine.

      Yes, it's true. Workstation versions of Windows only allow 10 inbound connections. Server version limits depend on your licensing.

      The only legal one is to use a Server version of Windows. XP doesn't have a server edition.

          I have this issue with schools who cannot afford a windows 2003 server (the software is free under a M$ agreement). To over come this I use an old PC with a large hard drive and a FreeNAS server (http://sourceforge.net/projects/freenas/). In 30 min you can have server up and running and use PC's and Mac's from the one file server.

            Interesting. Will have to remember that when the need comes up.

                Microsoft has been doing it for years when connecting to other OS Servers to sidestep licensing.
