How many users can connect to a Windows XP Pro CLIENT machine through TCP/IP ?

Now , im not talking about taking over the system like remote administration. Im just talking about file sharing and harddrive browseing and anything else.

Anyone know?
 
Do you all have any documentation on this stuff? like a link.

Windows NT only allowed 1. Thats why im concerned/pondering the posible problems we might run into.
 
Yea i know that.
There will only be 4 connecting through one machine. I wonder if that many will kill the system.
 
I know its atleast 4. I had him XP Pro machine streaming DIVX movies to 4 PC's at once. Wish I could be of more help.
 
No worries. Im waiting for Candyman to get online. He is the god of gods when it comes to this crap :p

But peiceing together everyones input from here is great too.

that's 16,777,214. and of course bandwidth could be your bottleneck.
