Terry, I read your answer via google.

NO! You still don't understand: here is an excerpt from KB 328459 | Troubleshooting Server Message Block inbound connection limit in | Windows peer-to-peer workgroup | | Computers that run Windows NT Workstation 4.0, Windows 2000 | Professional, and Windows XP Professional are licensed for a | maximum of 10 concurrent client incoming sessions. Computers | that run Windows XP Home Edition are licensed for a maximum | of 5 concurrent client incoming sessions. All logical drive, logical | printer, and transport level connections combined from a single | computer are one session. | | If the server service already has the maximum number of open | sessions and one more user tries to allocate a resource, the | computer returns the error messages that are described in the | "Symptoms" section of this article. Your mail and web server programs do *not* use SMBs and are therefore not restricted by the 10 (or 5) connections limit of the OS. BTW, this connection limit is there in an Domain environment too. If you try to connect to another client computer Windows regards this as peer-to-peer networking. Helmut.

These limits don't apply to things like mail servers and web servers; only to "shared resources", like mapped drives. D |
