I know XP Pro supports 10 concurrent connections and no mater how many files or shares are open that only counts as one connection but i have found an exception/bending of this rule and i was wondering if anyone could help and indeed if this is the right group to help. We have a piece of...

Just as a reference: The sessions file on the XP machine reads like this: User Computer # Open Files Connected Time Guest ADMINISTRATOR 11.0.0.200 0 00:00:08 No ARBECK20 BECKENHAM20 3 02:01:02 Yes ARBECK20 11.0.0.20 6 01:23:06 Yes ARBECK4 BECKENHAM4 3 01:26:35 Yes...

The networks are running as workgroups not as a domain. Is there still a logon script in this case? Where would it be on the XP machine? Would it be helpful to compare this to the logon script on the working 2k machines?

I understand that but that doesn't fit the logic of my problem. Or does it? If it does, then i suppose my question should be why is the XP machine only allowing 4/5 connections, when it should be 10?

Bcastner I agree with what you're saying but XP is definately logging on the computers twice once as the Name and again as the IP address, which is clogging up the available connections. I know it should be only one connection per machine but this is not the case in this instance. On other...

I have a XP pro machine running as a server for 6 users who need to access the same database based application. I know xp pro can handle 10 concurrent network connections so i didn't think this would be an issue. However after some connection problems I noted in Computer Management->Shared...
