This is in addition to Dave's story. Halfway into the day we found out the XP pro could only have 10 simultaneous connections, XP Home 5, and 2000 professional 10. After finding this out we decide to use all the personal computers there to be servers to render. I then remembered that I had 2000 Advanced on a CD at home (aren't ITT Tech licenses great?). Come midnight my hard drive decides to crash while installing it. So I reformat, use my comp. as a server the next day, and pray it doesn't explode from having 70 simultaneous connections into it

.
I wouldn't change a thing at all.
