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

    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.

    not sure without looking of the exact number, but around 250 sounds right, though a little excessive for a domestic product.

    Over 200 I would guess.

    But bandwidth may limit the number.

    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 page

    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 253
