File Sharing User Max

Hello,
I'm trying to unilimit or raise the limit on the maximum ammount of users
alowed to connect and access the files that have been shared on this desktop.
I've tried a few ways but to no avail. Help would be incredibly appreciated.

Thank you so much,
Emanuel Moshouris

which operating system you are speaking about?
For the normal server OS you have the maximum number of users configurable
on the Sharing tab in the shared folder properties under user limit. This
can also be "unlimited", given you have enough client access licenses.
If you share on a Windows XP workstation, the maximum connection number of
all inbound connections is limited to 10.
And if you want to use certain files with the application you may be limited
to one user, who is able to open the file, because he locks it, depending on
the file type.

The maximum is 10 (for WinXP Pro, and Win2k). Max for XP Home is 5. You
cannot change this - and if you found some third party hack that would allow
it, you'd be using an entirely unsupported config and I expect would be in
violation of your EULA. I suggest you look into Windows (or not Windows)
server for your network if this has become a problem for you.
