What's the most # of computers you had on a single DSL/Cable modem account?

At my apt, we have 10 computers connected through a router/switch/hub network shared through 1 home dsl account. Anyone else do something liek this before?

This begs the question, what do you do with 10 computers in one apartment?

I've had 12 or 13 on mine at once, in the same basic config as you.

3. My laptop, my main box, and my other box.

Wait, at times, 4 or 5 if I'm building boxes for other folks and using the connection to d/l updates for OS and programs.

About fifteen on a 1Mb small business account. But only two or three actually used it regularly.

USB DSL modem => my WinXP machine w/ ICS => 8-port switch => other computers owned by myself and my 5 roommates. We have actually had 8 at a time hooked up (7 other machines besides mine) (including my Linux laptop, 3 Power Macs, and other Win9x/Me/XP machines). As soon as I get another hub, I'm going to have more hooked up :)

and hopefully soon I'll get a PCI USB card to throw in a P133 running Linux to be our firewall/router so my machine doesn't have to stay on all the time :)

2 at home. 3 at school. My computer, my roommate's laptop, and another friend's desktop were all hooked into my roommate's hub one night.

Running 34 at the moment... 38 after I get these rigs filled out. Anyone want to sell me an Athlon XP... or two or three? ;) Heck, at this point, I'd even take a cheap duron or two.
