Answer» How many COMPUTERS can be networked on XP Pro?
Using a few year old PC as a file server.
We have a very small business networked with a router and 16 port switch.
With Win2K we had as many as 16 running.
Since we switched to XP Pro sometimes we can get 10 but usually only 9 to NETWORK.
If 9 or 10 is the limit, then what software or hardware should we turn to network 10 to 16?
Thanks for any input.The maximum number of concurrent CONNECTIONS to a Windows XP Professional "shared" resource is "10". This limit may be set "lower" but not "higher".
By design, if you need more, Microsoft expects you to purchase and install one of their "server" operating systems.Linux is freeas PER my experience its highly dependent on number of switch port available.
