I suppose that someone who       > needed those simutalenous connections would run Windows Server..?              It's a well known limitation in XP and W7, at least among system/network       administrators (like myself). (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314882)              I've never seen a working "fix" for this, since I never have had the need for       it. I've always run server for my network and filestore needs at home. Having       easy access to both free hardware and sofware has made the choice easy. :-) As       an IT manager Microsoft grants me free unlimited use of all of their software       as a part of our volume license agreement. :-)              Torbjørn              --- BBBS/NT v4.10 Dada-1        * Origin: Circle Of Protection (2:211/37)    |
