you are only really limited by the ports on your router, indeed even if you run out of ports you can get another router.
192.168.0.1 is the starting address and 192.168.256.256 is the ending address... so I would say that you can connect up to 65,536 computers to a LAN at least in theory. I have never heard this being done but I'm sure it is possible.
The problem is the bandwidth. if you are on a 5 Mbit connection (for simplification purposes this is both up and down speed) and you have lets say 10,000 computers all with people using them online then each is roughly limited to 524 bps if all is shared equally, in layman's terms that's really really slow. Now if you only have a few computers using the net at any given time it can work well.
