MS windows network -No more connections can be made...

[Wing31]

I am running XP Pro on the server of a network with 8 users.
Recently I have been getting the following message
"Microsoft windows network - No more connections can be made to this
computer because there are already as many connections as the computer can
accept"
The message comes up when the eight computer tries to access the server drive.
If I reboot the service then all computers can get in. Is there some
settings that I can change on my xp to allow more connections?
Thanks,
Wing31
