What limits are you talking about? The 10 connection limit has nothing to do
with the number of shares.

No, it won't. Normally each computer that is accessing a share and/or a
printer is one connection. The computer itself also takes up one connection.
This means somewhere around eight and nine for sure pc's accessing this one
will cause the next one to get an error. If you have more than five or six
pc's in a workgroup I recommend you look at installing a server. Linux is
very cost effective if you have the knowledge. The next best bet would be MS
Small Business Server.

Your welcome
Rereading my last post I may not have been clear. Normally each computer
connected counts as one even it is connected to multiple share and printers.
