re: File sharing between Win 98 and Win XP Thursday, September 9, 2004 at 2:14 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Jena (1 messages posted) I assume you are running XP Home Edition. Only 5 computers can connect to the XP computer at a time. Its a license issue. You either need to upgrade to XP Pro or downgrade to Windows 2000 Pro where you can have up to 10 computers connect at once.
