Too Many connections?

Greetings!

I have 8 computers networked and I'm having problems with sharing. All
computers are running WinXP Home. What should I do? Do I need server
software?

Please help

Error message reads:
||sony|shared is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if
you have access permissions.

No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this timbe
because there are already as many connections as the computer can accept.

Exactly how many connections are possible to 1 computer running xp home?

10 connections. From a command prompt;
net sess
to see what you have going.

OK, it lists 4 computers (connected to the main computer) but when I try to
connect another, it give me the same message as originally given. Any
ideas?

Look at the column for "Opens" and see if it adds up to 10 or close to it.

May be a firewall issue also possibly Explorer|Tools|Folder Options|View and
check the box for "Use Simple File Sharing (Recommended)" This link may also
