Windows XP maxed out as a file server?
I am running Windows XP as a file server to 8 machines running real time applications.  Three of the machines, also running XP, will open upwards of one thousand files each (and keep them open).  Each of these machines are connected to the file server via the 'net use' command, all accessing the same shared folder.

When these machines reach around 900 files, the file server appears to be unable to serve out any more files.  Is there a limit to how many files Windows XP can keep open and serve at once?  Is there a way to change this limit?
