Max incoming connections for XP/Server03

All,
I have recently reached the limit of 10 maximum users all
mapping the same drive on my XP pro system. (click help
and type "Inbound Connections Limit in Windows" for more
info). I know that the limit of 10 applies to XP Pro,
2000, and NT, and there is a limit of 5 on XP home, but
what about Server 2003? What else can i do to overcome
the limit?

The only thing you can do to overcome the limitation is to buy an actual
server operating system.

Windows NT and 2000 are also server OSes, and they have
the 10 limit as well. I thought I would check to see if
there is a specified number with 2003.

Windows NT "SERVER" and Windows 2000 "SERVER" have no connection limits.
Windows NT "WORKSTATION" and Windows 2000 "PROFESSIONAL" both have
ten-connection limits. That is the difference between the two - a
workstation limits you to ten simultaneous users/connections, but a server
does not.

Windows NT4.0 Server, Windows 2000 Server, and Windows Server 2003 do not
have a 10 or any other connection limit except per the number of client
access licenses you choose to purchase.
