Peer to peer network not logging in

I am attempting to connect 25 Windows 98 computers to a
single computer operating Windows XP Professional. Some
of the programs I am operating require that I map
the "server" computers to the XP hard drive, but
unfortunately I seem unable to have more than 10
computers log on to the XP computer at a time. Is there
a setting or something I can adjust to fix this problem?

That's a documented and, unfortunately, un-changeable limit in Windows
XP Professional:

A server operating system (NT, 2000, Windows Server 2003) with
sufficient licenses can allow more simultaneous connections from other
computers. It's also possible that a Windows 98 "server" computer
could do the job.
