Xp - Vista networking issue
I have a small network that consist of 7 computers, 4 of which run WinXP and
3 run Vista. One of the XP machines I use as my data server. I recently ran into a networking error on one of the Vista machines, it tells me the XP server can not accept anymore connections, it sees the server but will not connect. I ran the network setup wizard on the Vista machine and it fixed the problem for about 3 days, all computers worked fine. Then one of the other Vista machines started the same error after about 3 days. Is there a limit to the number of computers the XP machine will allow to network to it? Any help would be appreciated.

Xp - Vista networking issue
Hi
If you can not reduce the number of connections then it might be a good time to switch to Windows SBS. http://www.microsoft.com/smallbusine....aspx#overview Jack (MS, MVP-Networking).
