There are limits on the number of inbound connections that a PC may
concurrently have; so, if you use one PC as a file-server, only a
handful of other PCs can concurrently connect to its files.  The limits
are 5 if the file-server runs XP HE, or 10 if the file-server runs
XP PRO or XP MCE.

workgroup renders it very difficult to manage/administer.

The other reply you got tells you the limits on inbound connections that can
be made to various Windows desktop versions . If you don't want to get a
server and create an AD domain, I suggest you get a NAS box or something
else (Linux?)  to act as a centralized file server.
