That depends on the OS version and the hardware you are using. A port is a 16 bit unsigned integer, so 64K is the absolute limit. >From this number you have to subtract the reserved port numbers, i.e. the main listening ports for important applications. A more stricter limitation is the OS licence. The Client versions of Windows are restricted to 10 connections at the same time according the the usage licence.
