M$ like to cripple their "Home" versions of the software, because, at home who could possibly have a network? Oh, YOU have a network, well in that case you must pay for the PROFESSIONAL version. Professional version at Profe$$ional prices.
YMMV, Other operating systems are available. ;-)
Glad you've got it working. :-)
To be completely fair....the ability (or not) to log onto a Domain is about the only thing stopping home editions from being used in a small businesses NT Domain, which naturally MS didn't want. When we are talking about a sold (as in for real money) OS I have no problem with the Home edition's networking stack being dumbed down to what works for *most* home users. The other differences amount to little outside an office network.
ISTR The file sharing connection is counted per client not per instance...So I don't think that was the specific problem here
