The server is XP pro which will only allow 10 connections at a time and that is where I run into the brick wall.

At any given time the is one full time provider, a part-time provider, receptionist, 2 nurses, and an office manager using the database. I would like to have all computers logged on to the "server" without having the "too many connections" error from XP which is limited to 10 connections at a time. I have 6 exam rooms, 2 nurses stations, lab, 2 offices and a receptionist all logged in at the same time. The exam rooms are logged in with 2 accounts to save time. One for the provider and one for the nurse. Which would act more like 12 connections instead of 6. I was just wondering if a NAS could handle that much traffic or would I be better of with a server.

My plans are to add one more provider within the next year and probably a few more computers and the part-time provider going to full time at he first of the year.
