how to work around limitation of 10 users on XP?

Cari MS-MVP <newsgrou...@coribright.comn>

The limitation is in place because you have a workstation operating system
and not a server operating system.  For unlimited connections, use either
one of the (now discotninued) Windows 2000 Server family or the new Windows
2003 Server family.
