CAL Issue, perhaps? Can't have more than 5 users connected.

Thanks to the help that I've gotten here, I've been able to set up a 13 PC network/computer lab with Active Directory, among other things, for my class room.

However, I can't seem to have more than 5 students connected at once.

I've installed Terminal Services and Terminal Services Licensing components and purchased 15 additional CALs.

I've activated the Terminal Service server and used the license wizard to install the licenses (as "Per Server"). The domain controller permissions is set to allow the Terminal License Server to run (perhaps unecessary, but something that I read while researching this problem).

Anyway, I can have 5 users connect concurrently. When #6 tries to log on, one of two things can happen...1) They get an error message stating that the domain can't be found, or 2.) they can log in but their redirected folder can't be located. They don't have permission, it seems, to access it.

This problem stays even after one student logs off. If they go to an ajacent PC and log in, they experience a similar issue.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what's going on and how to fix it?

Additional info: When I check the Licensing app, the licenses are listed and 6 have been doled out (unsure why the other's haven't been). Also, 9 of 13 computers are listed in Active Directory. I suppose this was done automatically as I didn't add them manually. All PCs are running XP Pro.

Thanks!
