Luis,

I don't know about NT4 but I do think there is another solution than a Windows server OS that is simpler and cheaper. It is a standalone file server hardware.

The SNAP! server costs around $500 (USD) and, as I undersand it, effectively removes the limit all by itself with no added costs.

If you look for snap here you should find a few messages and a link to the company site.

cheers
By the way, the 10 connections limit is exactly that - "connections". I believe that a printer counts as one, individual mapped paths as one each, etc.

>>Yes. Workstation is limited to 10 connections. If you need more than that, you need to use W2K Server and have an appropriate number of licenses.

>>>There's one applicaction that is run in 10 workstations in a lab. This app uses a .DBC an its respectives tables that resides in a Win2K Pro PC that acts like a file server. The problem is that when there are four or less workstations that are using a table (any table) at the same time, everything is fine, but when the fifth PC wants to open the same table, it can't do it, so it has to wait that one of the first four workstations closes the table so that the fifth can use it.

>>>How can I solve this? I mean if there's such limitation or What can I change in the configuration of the Win2K Pro where the .DBC and the tables are?.
