Can several computers say 5 or 10 computers, be able to networked to a server with windows vista ultimate os? would there be a problem with this? cuz im planning to have my computer upgraded to vista which happens to be also the server of my internet cafe? the clients stations are all windows xp sp2?

I did this the other day at my house, (using 3 xp os and 1 vista) it was kinda tricky since I wasn't too familiar with vista, But I ended up networking the xp machines together first, then had the vista machine find the network which it did. So you could probably do somehting similar.

I believe that Vista Ultimate still has a maximum of 10 connections allowed, like XP did. As long as you have less than 10 clients on the network it should be okay, but if you get more than 10 clients you'll need to upgrade to a server OS.

I've had nothing but problems with Vista, I'd recomend sticking with XP for a while longer while they continue to fix this broken os. My main issue currently with Vista is its unwillingness to stay connected for longer than 30 mins, despite the fact that my wireless adapter works perfectly on the three xp machines in this house. Not to mention it likes to just randomly shut down/reboot, my mouse likes to go shooting across the screen when Im not even touching it....my vista compatable printer isnt compatable.... Given that you've an older camcorder it'll probably have nothing but issues with Vista even with the correct vista compatable drivers and/or software installed.

Vista does support networking with XP (and Win 2000 and ME and 98SE and 98) computers.
