XP Home has a limitation of 5 simultaneous connections, XP`Pro (including
the supersets of XP Tablet and XP Media Center) has a limitation of 10.
Windows 2000 SBS has a limitation of 49, Windows 2003 SBS has a limitation
of 74, any Windows Server O/S has no limitation.

What happens to the sixth person trying to print? Does it just not print do
