The whole idea of Windows networking is that some controller machines are
servers and some are pro stations. XP Home can't join a domain.

Mrinal,

XP Professional's IIS (Internet Information Services) and FTP server will
only accept a maximum of 10 connections, as you have discovered. This is a
built-in limit.

You mention wanting to stress test your application on XP. Certainly you
don't mean to eventually host the web site on an XP Pro box, as there are
much better alternatives. Is there a compelling reason you need to see how
XP Pro's IIS will perform as an application server?? I can't imagine that
setup would be suitable for an application server in a busy production
environment.

Windows Server 2003 you can (kinda) think of as Server XP - updated look and
feel and such, plus is has all the latest .net stuff. Perhaps that's what
you're looking for. By a copy and install and configure IIS to get what
you're looking for - Microsoft's latest and greatest web server to run your
application on.

Hope this helps.
