I believe you could theoretically connect 254 (or 256 I don't remember)
- or there may be no actual limitation except for the impracticality of
having more than 10-15 machines in a peer-to-peer network. Frankly, for
that anything more than 10 boxen it makes the most sense to move to a
domain-based network with a server.

If what you really wanted to ask was "what are the inbound concurrent
connection limitations", then they are the same for Vista as for XP:

5 for XP Home/Vista Basic/Vista Home Premium
10 for XP Pro/Tablet/MCE/Vista Business/Vista Ultimate
49 for SBS 2000
74 for SBS 2003
Unlimited for full Server O/Ses

Note that the limitation is on *connections* and not *computers*. Each
computer can - and often does - make more than one connection to a "server".

If you have further questions, please let us know some details about
what you are trying to do so you can get an accurate and useful answer.
