|
| In addition, none of the XP Home computers are accessing any other

|
| So I am confused. Anyone have any ideas? And, how can I view the
| current live connections on my XP Pro computer to see what is going on?

| Thanks

It's 10 /connections/, not computers. Each of your XP Home computers may
be opening 2 connections to your XP Pro computer.

| Thanks to everyone for help
