There's a reason they call it XP Home. 5 connections maximum and lots of
other stuff left out. This link has a good explanation of what the
differences are between home and pro.

Subject: [PCBUILD] XP on a network
I have a classroom with a few Compaq 6000s with XP Home Edition. I also
have a few HPs with Win 98. They all can see and interact with each
other until over 5 users try to access a Compaq with XP. Sometimes I get
a "no permissions" message, other times I get "too many users." I
checked this out by having one computer shut down. The computer that
couldn't get on could then access the XP machine. And the one that I had
shut down could no longer access the XP. Does anyone know if there is a
setting in XP to up the number of connections? I couldn't find
anything. I recall seeing in Win98 but have never had a problem with
them.
My network is TCP/IP. The address ranges are 192.168.1.1 to
192.168.1.31 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
They are all connected through a hub (10base).
