How many computer allowed in XP Home, Professional

This is short question:
How many computers allowed in one network under Xp Home? I remember it is 5. Is it possible add more?
How about Xp Professional? What is the max?
Thank you.
 
You can have as many as you want. However you can only five concurrent connections on each computer with XP Home and ten on each XP Pro computer.
 
If I have 5 XP Home as workstation, 6th computer as server, what software should be installed in the 6th computer?
 
I think brucekatz is asking for something different... what's the limit on how many computers with XP Home installed while hooked up to the same LAN. bluestrobe's "answer" was how many concurrent incoming connections can ONE COMPUTER running XP Home handle as a "server."

I'm not sure there's a limit to just being on the same network. I've been to 500 person LAN parties and I'm sure there had to be more than 5 people running XP Home at that LAN.
