Using a NetBIOS Network
Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003
It is recommended that the file server be configured by the network administrator.
The number of users or clients that can access a server running Windows 2000/XP/
Server 2003 is limited. After this number of users or clients is reached, it is not
possible to send to a server running Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003.
The procedure below uses a screen of Windows 2000 as an example.
