Since allot of increased traffic on my website, and around 200 forum members I start to get this error:

Access Forbidden: Too many users are connected...

I guess that is because of the server license etc...

What os is allowed to server an unlimited amount of people? I need to go pro :)

Currently Windows xp prof.

Win 2k Pro and XP Pro are hardcoded to only allow 10 concurrent connections.

What you need is Win 2k Server or the new Windows Server 2003, if you go to Microsofts web site you can get them to send you a 180 day evaluation version of Win server 2003 which will keep you going for 6 months anyway.

You need a Server OS for that. XP pro can only handle 10 connections which might result in only 2 or 3 users depending on the script...
