OK, so you are speaking of remote desktop, whereas I was
speaking of accessing network shares.

XP or W2k server or W2k3 can allow remote desktop sessions.
For server versions of W2k or W2k3 there is a limit of two
simultaneous RD logins, unless the fully licensed Terminal
Services is installed (in which case the limit is based on your
licenses for TS sessions). As I am mostly a server person I have
not ever noticed if XP limits to one or two RD logins.
