We need to run a 5 workstation network in our small office. Some of the computers have WinXP Professional and some have the home edition. In a small network environment like this will Professional and Home netowrking schemes work together without any problems?

I read somewhere that there was a limit to the number of workstations that could be used in XP Home. Is that right?

Thanks!

Nope, never heard of that story. The only thing you will experience is a couple of advantages in XP pro, that you might miss when mixing with home. Such as remote access.

XP Home has a limit that 5 other PCs can connect to its shares at the same time. Similar for XP Pro the limit is 10.
