I set up a Windows XP Pro system to share files and printerswhich was working
fine until I added a new workstation. Now I get a message to the effect that
I'v run out of computers. Is there a limit on the number of computers that
can be on a XP network and what is it.

There is no limit to the number of computers that can be on the network.  There
is a limit how many can connect, at any time, to any single computer.  Note that
simultaneous connections may not be exactly equal to the number of computers.
