XP _Pro_ only allowing 5 connections

Hi, I have a freshly installed XP Pro SP2 (_not_Home_) only allowing
4 connections to shared folders (as seen with "net session"). I've
been reading many MS KB articles about it and I understant XP _Pro_
should allow 10 connections. It is only XP + Apache & PHP. No
antivirus, no Office, no nothing.

In the network I have 7 computers having 2000 SP4, XP SP3 and Vista
SP1, but it does not seem to depend on which ones are first. It only
allows 5.

I've tried some registry hacks suggested by MS about not allowing
anonymous connections but this does not seem to solve nothing.

Please help! I'm not shure what to do next and already considering
having to install a virtual machine with Linux to share that folder to
the 7 machines.

Toni.
