User says he has a share folder on his XP PC. It will allow 5 other PC's to access it. However, when he tries to use 6 PC's, only the first 5 can access it. Is this a Windows limitation? What would be a good solution? Locate the folder on a Network Drive? (what kind?) Any suggestions?

XP Pro is limited to 10 concurrent users. Maybe Home is limited to 5?

Yep ..... Mike is spot on, XP Home is indeed limited to 5 simultaneous file-sharing connections.
