I was under the impression that WinXP allowed a maximum of 5 computers in a
network. "Roger" wrote: I have a network setup with 6 computers 5 xp and 1 vista. from the vista I can see and access the other computers and printer but the other computers cant see the vista. all computers are on the same workgroup and there are no passwords. any sujestions? |

Not so much the number of computers, but there is a simultaneous connection
limit. As I recall it was 10 for Pro and 5 for Home (just checked, yes - 5 for XP Home and 10 for XP Pro). OP should be receiving a message "No more connections can be made" if attempting to access shared resources on a XP Home or Pro machine Joe "BurrWalnut" wrote in message ...
