Windows XP has a limitation on a computer can be only controlled by a local user or a remote user.

I don’t think that you can have more than 12 connections on the Winodows XP unless you use third party software. I use ThinPoint, it gives you multiple access to you XP machine and many cool features. Like printing over the network without installing drivers and your aplications can be accessed by many users at the same time.
