Win98 workgroup

This is a discussion about Win98 workgroup in the Legacy OS category; I feel kinda silly asking THIS in THIS forum, since i don't use Win9x based systems, but whatever, just for general culture, what's the limit of pc's that i can connect to a workgroup based on win98?, and i mean without a dedicated server or any NT OS; just a group of pc's connected to a HUB or a Switch.

Ummm depends on what limit you are talking about?

If its the amount of TCPIP connections to a machine ... its 256.

Windows 98:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\MSTCP
Add/change the value:
MaxConnections=100 to 256

The maximum number of machines in a workgroup is limited to a list that can only be 64k in length. So it will not show all the entries for a very large workgroup.

Physically ... the number of ports on a switch
