Limitation for PtoP network?

[Guest Eric]

If 30 PCs are connected through PtoP network, does XP have any limitation on

sharing files to each other based on PtoP network structure?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

No, not really, as long as you don't blow the concurrent connection

limits. That being said may I add that setting up a 30 PC peer network

is nothing short of madness!

Yes. XP Pro has IIRC a limitation of 10 concurrent connections. XP Pro,

IIRC, is five.

 

If you need to share files for 30 systems, you should be using a server with

sufficient licenses (or a linux box, which won't require you to purchase

licenses).

Typo, of course. I'm sure you meant XP *Home* is five.

 

And yes, you remember correctly.
