            Dont know the answer to this but 5 should be ok. The manual may provide the answer to its max.0

            Open multiple windows gains you more access to a ticket site .

            I think the limit may be more due to the DHCP addresses it can issue.
Mine was set to 192.168.1.3 to 192.168.1.25 only, but I think if you can change that to 192.168.1.3 to 192.168.1.254 then you can have 250 odd. But more if you know how to change the netmask etc.A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are.0 - 
            not sure without looking of the exact number, but around 250 sounds right, though a little excessive for a domestic product.Utinam logica falsa tuam philosophiam totam suffodiant.0

            we regularly run 5 of ours thats me and the kids - lol

            Over 200 I would guess.
But bandwidth may limit the number.0 - 
            Cool thanks for the info guys, if the thoughts are 200+ i think we should be alright with 5 :money:
We are on a 2meg cable connection and will be using firefoxs multipage browsers to refresh the ticket links until we (fingers crossed) get through to the order page0 - 
            I think is nearer ten connections on wireless. Its not a dhcp issue more of connectivity0

            between 50 and 250 depending on your router, if you check the specs it will tell you, mine is a bog standard USR and will support 2530
