I know that to share a folder to more than 10 users I need 2000 Server because Pro in a peer-to-peer network sets the limit at 10. My question is: on a 2000 Server network, must the shared folder be on the 2000 Server machine, or can it be on a networked PC running Pro?
Thanks for any advice.
Tony

Your answer lies in your network model...

A workgroup based model (peer -> peer) versus a domain model. If the workstations/servers are part of a domain then you will not suffer from this limitation. Doug
