How do you share files on a network with a PC (with Windows XP home edition) and an iMac with XOS 10.6.8 version?

Can someone please take me through the exact steps that I have not been able to get this to work after many attempts and read a number of forum sites support. Thank you very much.

    Here's my situation:

    I bought 6 home edition of Windows XP
    then freshly installed, they upgraded to Service Pack 3 and they activated via internet
    I have some shared folders in one of them, acts as a database for the other 5 Server
    The other (5 PCs) Access database files (Visual FoxPro) using (X & Y) mapped network drive
    I have no problem connecting until the last one (FP5)
    Windows XP of the 5th PC (client) said:
    "Year error occurred while reconnecting X: to \\Raya\WS-01\Server Palen.
    Microsoft Windows network: No more connections are possible to this remote computer
    at this time because there are already as many connections as the computer can accept

    What & why is it?
    Is a design limitation of Windows XP HOME edition which can only inter connect up to 5 PCs at the same time?
    Please advise, what is happening here?
    Thanks in advance

    Windows XP Home Edition allows a maximum of 5 simultaneous incoming connections.  XP Pro allowed 10.

    The following note is from the Article KB 314882:

    Note For Windows XP Professional, the maximum number of other computers that are permitted to simultaneously connect over the network is ten. This limit includes all transport and combined resources sharing protocols. For Windows XP Home Edition, the maximum number of other computers that are permitted to simultaneously connect over the network is five. This limit is the number of sessions simultaneously on other computers, that the system is permitted to accommodate. This limit does not apply to the use of administrative tools that attach from a remote computer.

    Hello

    Maybe this can help.
    Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

    General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted
    Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

    When you have finished the configuration of the system, it is recommended to restart everything the router and all computers involved.

    -------------

    If you have authorization and security problems, check the following settings.

    Point to a folder that wants to share do right click and choose Properties.

    In the properties

    Click on the Security tab shown in the bellows of the photo on the right) and verify that users and their permissions (see photo below Centre and left) are configured correctly. Then do the same for the authorization tab.

    The Security Panel and the authorization Panel, you need to highlight each user/group and consider that the authorization controls are verified correctly.

    When everything is OK, restart the network (router and computer).

    * Note . The groups and users listed in the screen-shoot one

    You not only peut lose, you go. You can not do a upgrade of
    XP to Windows 7. Although you can use a Windows 7 upgrade copy,
    Since XP, you need to do a clean install with it.

    And how I can save it without copying the data to another location. Thank you

    Copy your data to another location - to external media.
    As you apparently don't do this on a regular basis, let me tell you that you
    Play with fire.  It is always possible that a hard drive crash.
    user, near Thunderbolt error, virus, attack same flight of the

    Hello

    ·        Since when are you facing this problem?

    Method 1:

    You can run the check disk by booting in safe mode and check if that helps. To start in safe mode follow the link given below.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

    Once you start mode without fail, try and run the disk check and check errors.

    Method 2:

    If you are not able to run the check disk in safe mode, you will need to boot into the recovery console, and then run check say. To do this, you need the Windows XP installation disc. The enforcement procedure checks the disk in the recovery console.

    (a) Insert the Windows XP CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive and restart the computer.
    Note: Click to select all of the options required to start the computer from the CD-ROM drive if you are prompted to do so.

    (b) when the "Welcome to Setup" screen appears, press R to start the Console history.
    Note: If you have a dual-boot or multiboot, select the installation that you want to access from Console history.

    (c) when you are prompted to do so, type theAdministrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just C:.

    (d) to historic Console command prompt, type the following then C::

    Chkdsk /r

    (e) allow to run INTACT until the completion

    (f) report any error

  • Windows XP Home Edition has lost drive of installation and CD Key - cannot repair windows (damaged WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM file)

    I can't start Windows XP Home Edition at all - everything I try to do using the Advanced Options results in the same error message screen (Windows is not start because the following file is missing or corrupt...). I can't do a repair installation because my friend who has built my computer and installed my operating system lost the disc to install Windows XP Home Edition and the CD Key, I ordered. I can't find anyone else who has their record.

    Is there a way I can fix the system without the authentic installation disk files? If not, is there a way I can receive a free/good Windows installation disc market replacement of Microsoft? Also, I don't want to lose any documents on my computer in the process.

    Thanks for the help!

    Have you tried 'XP No Boot troubleshooting steps' sticky post at the top of this forum?

    As this issues happens several times a day and your system falls into any category to start, why not start there and see if that helps?

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes pulling and buttons power)

    These can cause corruption in the file system that must be fixed before you do anything else.

    If none of these events occurred (or even if they have not taken place), you must verify the integrity of your file system before anything else (especially "try" things).

    There is zero logic to start try to copy files to a hard drive with a corrupted file system so it must first be fixed using the XP chkdsk program and setting that may solve your problem completely, but you must start there.

    Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

    Start the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD or create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.  If you don't know what kind of bootable CD, you, do a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console and do not forget.

    You can create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console when no XP CD is available by following the instructions in this link:

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic276527.html

    After booting into the Recovery Console, you should be in this folder:

    C:\WINDOWS

    For each of your hard disk partitions, you must then run:

    Chkdsk /r

    For example, at the Recovery Console prompt, enter:

    CHKDSK c: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.  It may take a long time to complete or seem to be 'glued '.  Be patient.  If the HARD drive light flashes, it's something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    The chkdsk/r must be completed without error, you may need to run several times until it does.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.
