What is the maximum simultaneous number of connections a XP machine can have?
According to Microsoft, at any given time, the maximum number of connections that you can have with an XP Pro loaded computer is 10. For XP Home edition, the number is 5. This includes the Internet connection and owner’s connection to his own computer. This becomes important if you have installed RXServer on a XP computer. We recommend that you install RXServer on Windows 2000 or 2003 server as these servers don’t have any connection limitations.
