Hi,
As more computers join a workgroup, it will slow down the traffic, can I
ask what is the maximum number of computers inside a workgroup if I am using
the 10Base2 ethernet? Thx.

Maximum computers per 10Base2 segment is 30. You can connect segments with
repeaters. Theoretical maximum computers per 10Base2 network is 1024. A
more practical limit for Windows workgroups is 10 - not because of
performance, but because a workstation in a workgroup can accept a maxumum
of 10 simultaneous connections.
