Ad-Hoc limit?

Is there a limit to the number of computers that can connect to an ad-hoc (no
access point) wireless network? The clients will all be running Windows XP
Professional, and one client will be running Windows 2003 Server, Web Edition.

An ad hoc network consists of up to 9 wireless clients:

Thanks for your reply, thats what I thought too. However, I have managed to
connect 12 clients to an Ad-Hoc Network. Are there any side effects of when
you connect more than 9 clients to an Ad Hoc Network?

9 is the recommended number I assume. I expect one negative would be
decreased perfomance when exceeding this number, however if you have not
experienced this then I suppose it is not an issue for you.
