hey guys, I know windows xp only allows up to 10 share connections. Will that apply if I setup a dedicated server? Does that mean I can only do a 5 vs 5 action?
If I want to have more people, do I need to install this on a Windows 2003 server?
Thanks.

That's what I was thinking but I do know there is a limit of file shares.

I think you are thinking of the limit on IIS which is something unrelated to SRCDS, so don't worry.

Many people run MANY SRCDS on XP. The 10 connections will not be a problem.

I have 3 servers running XP pro SP3.
One has HTTP, MySQL, FTP, few gameservers
the other 2 have gameservers and internal datastreaming for the complete network AND a gateway (also xp on the gateway).
I can assure you it's not a problem.

Yes, but the limit of 10 is still valid (XP SP3), all it does is add the overflow to the queue. If you increase the number of TCP/IP connections allowed at one time, your internet speeds up. Therefore you will notice a speed increase when you are downloading or playing online games. I recommend you to set the limitation to around 200 these days.
