Win 98 file sharing

Is there a limit on the number of clients a win 98 computer can share
files to? I seem to remember that it was 8 or 10 concurent users.

I found the answer... 10 concurrent user limit on file sharing in
win98.

Thanks for sharing, <s>.

I wasn't aware that there's a limit in Win98. Please tell us where
you found the answer.

I was told it was 10 too at one time, but as you already know, it
isn't. Then I saw an article which said it was up to 250 with the
default of 100 settable here
http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/733/

I've since tried to re-find the page which said 250 but I was never
able to find it again so maybe it has been withdrawn.

You are probably right with unlimited. I was just wondering if anyone
else had come across a mention of this 250 anywhere? I remember it
being from a usually good authoratative source but it was a few years
ago.
