This is exactly what the book says:

The CONFIG.SYS file at the designated file server must contain a FILES= 
statement with a value in excess of 60 times the number of workstations.

Note:  Windows 95, 98, and 2000 have a limit of 256 file handles for the 
designated file server, which allows a maximum of 4 stations to be active 
at any given time.  For networks using more than 4 workstations, Windows NT 
or 2000 Professional must be used at the designated server.

Maybe I am missing something or just high on drugs.  I am using 2000 Server.
