You need to set the sv_maxRate variable to something lower than 9000 (which is default), but I don't know that this will fix your problem. On a 10mb connection, 9000 is fine. Perhaps you should set your sv_maxPing to say 200 or so, keep those HPB's off the server ! ;-)

I CAN confirm, however, that XP CAN handle much more than 8 clients. If your server chokes after 8 people, its more likely your UPLOAD cap. I ran a server over a CABLE connection once and I had an 8 person limit, anything higher and it choked.
Just telling you so you don't go reinstalling the OS for no reason.

Good luck.
