Question about 'What's the difference between Windows XP Home and Professional editions?'

I have a question about What's the difference between Windows XP Home and Professional editions?:

I am trying to add a Windows XP Home Edition into a 10 user Windows 98SE peer-to-peer workgroup. The article says that XP Home Edition only supports peer-to-peer for 5 users. Does this mean that it will not configure at all ... or will it just show 5 of the 10 peers? WIN 98 SE is using NetBeui as the share protocol - XP says to use TCP/IP? We happen to have both NetBeui and TCP/IP on the 98SE PC's. Has anyone experienced this problem? Does anyone have a workaround or a how-to to integrate an XP Home Edition into a Win 98 SE peer-to-peer environment? Would the XP Professional Edition solve this problem? Thanks - Scott
