Anything to do with a limit on the total number of networked devices that can
be seen by WinXp Home ? Originally we were told the limit was on the number
of connected computers. I am beginning to wonder if networked stand alone
hard drives and network stand alone printers are counted in this total ?
Anyone know for sure ?
