Hi Mark, When I used to teach NT4 classes, we made a big deal out of the differences between a workground and a server based network. That's where the workgroup thing came from :-) I'm not aware of a way to break this, and even if I was, I couldn't tell because we run a clean shop around here!

The workground is a workgroup ?? Not following that :) Thanks Tom, Mark ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas W Shinder" <tshinder@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "[ISAserver.org Discussion List]" <isalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, February 10, 2003 10:59 AM Subject: [isalist] RE: Not ISA content, but windows 2000 pro. http://www.ISAserver.org Hi Mark, That's the hard coded limit that's part of the licensing agreement. However, if you're finding that users can't connect when there aren't really 10 "active" connections, there's a why to timeout idle connections faster. However, a workground is a workgroup :-) HTH, Tom Thomas W Shinder www.isaserver.org/shinder ISA Server and Beyond: http://tinyurl.com/1jq1 Configuring ISA Server: http://tinyurl.com/1llp -----Original Message----- From: Mark Strangways [mailto:strangconst@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, February 10, 2003 9:55 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] Not ISA content, but windows 2000 pro. http://www.ISAserver.org I was asked a question to which I cannot find an answer all that easily. There are many of you with much more experience here, so you may have this answer right away. A small company is running win 2K Pro as there file server, they cannot connect more than 10 users to the file shares. Is this a default limit to the connections ? Is it changeable ? They don't want to tear down the system to run a server product, and they don't have the green to get a second machine at the moment. Any help would be appreciated. Mark S
