Max 10 connection?

I have an application running on Windows 98. This
application is shared on a network of 21 Win2k Pro PC's.
I receive an error message that I am not able to open the
application when there are more then 10 connections to
the application database.

Windows 2000 Pro has a limit of 10 simultaneous
connections on a shared application. Is this the case
with Win98? Is so, is it possible to change this setting?

Thanks
Mike

That's one reason Linux is so popular.

Yes, it is and no, you can't. The 10 concurrent connection limit is
hard-coded into the OS and can't be changed. The assumption from MS
is that if you need more than 10 connections to a share you should use
one of the Server family.

Good Luck..
