server

In theory, if you can share the files on the xp machine,
there is no reason why everyone can't access them from
this central location, up to the maximum of 10 concurrent
users. The problems mainly arise when you regularly need
more than 10 connections at a time - then it's time to
move to a server O/S . The other factor to consider is
the specification of this machine. If you regularly have
10 users connecting, it could suffer quite a performance
hit unless it is up to the job.

can xp pro be used as a server not just as a peer-to-
peer
network, i.e. can an xp computer allow multiple network
users (up to 10) to access any files especially data
base
files (.db) ?
