Sessions are doubled ...

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

We've got a Windows XP PRO machine running several shared folders. We
know there is a limit of 10 connections, but we cannot get 10
connections, only 5 people can connect since each session appears to be
doubled for each user

1 user 2 sessions
2 users 4 sessions
3 users 6 sessions
4 users 8 sessions
5 users 10 sessions maximum reached


Any reason why each session is being doubled like this ?

It's either windows 2000 or Windows XP machines connecting to the XP
PRO folders. There are 8 people that need to connect, and in theory,
should be able to.
