Yes, I think we all understand it at that level.

The question on the table is, what does "connect" actually mean in this
context?

After all, when I plug in the LAN cable, I'm instantly connected to dozens
of machines at the physical level. But what is it that XP Home/Pro can
actually do with those machines (and how many of them) at a logical level?

And why would "Pro" anything have any limits at all?
