XP - Simultaneous Network Connections?

[jduffy]

I am going to use Miniportal from Instantservers.com to operate a home web server out of my home. I am going to run it on XP and found this little tid-bit about XP and XP pro:

>>>- Windows XP Professional : 10 simultaneous file-sharing connections
( same limitation as in Windows NT4 workstation and Windows 2000 Professional )
- Windows XP Home Edition : 5 simultaneous file-sharing connections
( Windows 95,98, ME do not have a known limit of simultaneous file-sharing connections )<<<

Is a webserver considered "file sharing"? Would this mean only 5 or 10 Internet users could access the server at any one time?

Thanks,

Duffy

No, that applies to LAN connections.

Before you do this, does your ISP permit webservers on your plan? Might want to check that first.

That's what I thought but wanted to make sure.

I checked the TOS for my ISP and there is no statement on webservers whatsoever. So I have to assume I'm good to go.
