If you require a real file server then you must move to a real server operating system such as Windows Server 2003. Windows XP Professional is not designed to operate as a permanent file server and has a hardcoded 10 connections limit (Home Edition is limited to 5) -- Regards, Mike -- Mike Brannigan [Microsoft] This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights Please note I cannot respond to e-mailed questions.

You have already been well answered, but I wanted to=20
emphasize that it is not 10 max logged in users, it is a=20 limit on simultaneous connections (which might all be=20 done with one user identity for example). --=20 Roger=20 "Bob" wrote in message = ...

lanmanserver is what you see in the services as the Server service.
It shares out MS Networking shares. This value could be (I would have to look it up) the default value=20 for the maximum number of connections to a share, as you can=20 set on each share. The restriction we were mentioning is, AFAIK, hardcoded into=20 the networking stack binaries. --=20 Roger=20 wrote in message = ... "Mike Brannigan [MSFT]" wrote: "Bob" wrote in message ...
