is there a way to add more than 10 connections to a windows win2000 Workstation?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

You mean 10 connections to a Network Share? If so, then I believe the answer is no.

Buy a server like Win2K Standard Server.

That would violate your EULA for WIN2K. Not a topic to discuss here. For more than 10 connections MARSDEN is right, you need to buy a server.

or if you cant afford a server os, you have two choices:

1. use win98 or linux for sharing files

2. continue using 2000 pro but reduce the sharing timeout delay in the registry so that when a users hasn't accessed the server for a while, they timeout much quicker. This way, you could get away with maybe 15 connections, though it will still be 10 at any one time (therefore not a violation). Should be seemles to the users so long as they dont access the shares all at the same time.

I recommend option 1

This question was asked earlier this morning. It is against the EULA to have more than 10 concurrent connections.
