I heard you can only Peer to Peer network 10 XP pro machines. Is this true

I run a software with a database shared on one maching, and the others point to it by its set static IP address. Will there be a problem if I use greater than 10 machines in my network all connecting to a database on an XP pro machine?

There is no limit on the number of nodes that can make up a P2P net,
but there is a limit on the number of nodes that can concurrently
access the resources on a XP PC: 10 for XP PRO and 5 for XP HE.
