What's the "realistic" max number of PCs/workstations on a
Win 98 2nd ed., peer-to-peer network.

I justed added two additional PCs bringing the total to
13. Now I'm getting "file sharing" problems. I was using
one Folder on one PC's Hard Drive as a "system-wide"
manual (voluntary) file storage back-up archive. Now I
get "error" dialogue boxes tellin me "it can't be done.

I suspect I've reached a softwear limitation for a p2p
network. Any help/info would be appreciated. Thank's

Max concurrent connections to any Win9x share is 10, which is by
design and cannot be changed. Microsoft asserts that if you have more
than 10 stations accessing a share you need one of the Server products
controlling access.

Good Luck...
