Anyone have a knotted rope?
Basically here is my problem --
I work in a small computer lab in a school, where results to tests and practices are saved to a office computer's hard-drive for easy grading (and saving). The problem?
We recently upgraded to WinXP Home (yeah I know... Home.. but I'm not in charge of finances lol). I have a XP home machine sharing folders with 16 other XP home machines.
Now if more than 3 students try to access a test or program at the same time, they get that "too many connections" error we saw so much of in SP1.
Those of you who are experienced are probably getting a good laugh out of this, but I (who am spoiled to the unrivaled functionality of Win98) honestly did not see this problem coming.
Do I need to make a dedicated server? Should I be using special software aside from the standard windows File Sharing? Any other ideas?
Any help is greatly appreciated -- our classes have 15 students each so 3 connecting at a time isn't gonna cut it.
