Post subject: Limits with Windows XP?

Hello,

I wanted to know if there are any limits using windows XP instead of Server 2003 or 2008.

Is there a max connection limit, etc?

I thought Windows XP had issues with more than 10 simultanious TCP connections.

The 10 users limit doesn't apply to FirstSpot. It is only apply to "half-open" TCP connections.

Having said that, Windows Server OS like 2003 or 2008 does offer several networking improvements such as better performance in high traffic situation, better NAT support and more robust routing implementation. So you might want to consider using server OS if you have high concurrent users (e.g. more than 100).

BTW, are you an existing FirstSpot user? Or you are currently evaluating FirstSpot?

We are evaulating now. I cant see more than 50 users and 2-6mbps of traffic.

Thank you for the quick reply.

In that case, Windows XP should be fine.
