<DIV>Hi</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Just picking this up part way through but I recall when I looked at using a home PC for streaming with users connecting in there is a limit to the number of simultaneous connections that XP can support.I think it was around 10 or so but it was a couple of years ago.</DIV>
