Windows xp home has a 5 incoming connection limit, xp pro has 10. This doesnt mean xp will only work on a 5 computer network, it means at any one time itll only accept 5 connections. If your asking for a hack to get around this go some place else, doing anything to bypass this voids the eula and is illegal.

One thing to keep in mind about xp is that it's not an upgrade from windows 98, it's an upgrade from windows 2000. Windows 2000 had the same behavior.
http://support.microsoft.com/search/preview.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q122920 So for windows nt4, win2000, winxp, it has never not had this limit. Windows 98 did not have this limit, however things like Personal Web Server were limited to 10 incoming connections. In XP, IIS has the same thing. The important thing to remember is that this limit is only for incoming connections. You can have a home network with 20 computer using windows xp home, its just at any one time, you cant have more than 5 computers actively connected to the same computer. The reason this was done is because at a certain point the computer will lag if it has too many connections. It also enforces the EULA. If you want to have more than 10 people connected to your computer at once, buy windows 2000 server, which is desgiend for this. I dont see what the big deal is. I only have 1 pc, i have no plans to make a 10 computer network at home. Windows xp home and pro were designed to be clients, not servers. If you have a network bigger than 10 computers you dont want a workgroup, you want a domain. Ive seen people complain that xp home cant join a domain, but thats because xp home is for consumers and a cconsumer is not gonna be running a domain at home! It's the same for the incoming connnection limit, a consumer shouldnt have more than 10 computers at home! If youre running a business then you need business sofware to do this. -gosh |
