A) Does this mean that I can have only 255 computers in a network?

No. This range, when coupled with the default subnet mask 255.255.255.0, gives you 254 addresses. But there's no reason you have to use that subnet mask.

Given an address for your network of 192.168.0.0 and a subnet mask of 255.255.254.0 you have 510 addresses available - that is 192.168.0.1 through 192.168.1.254. Visually (if I can render this):

11000000.10101000.00000000.00000000 IP Address = 192.168.0.0
11111111.11111111.11111110.00000000 Subnet Mask = 255.255.254.0

ANDing gives the network address:

11000000.10101000.00000000.00000000 (192.168.0.0)

Hosts can be addressed from

11000000.10101000.00000000.00000001 (192.168.0.1) to
11000000.10101000.00000001.11111110 (192.168.1.254).

The bits to the right of the least significant 1 in the subnet mask are available to be assigned to hosts on the subnet, while the space marked by 1s identifies the network. If you need more, you can always change the mask to 255.255.252.0 or 255.255.248.0, etc. Each step will double the available host addresses.

Members of a workgroup can access other hosts within the same network, and the subnet mask defines what digits in the IP address should be interpreted as the network identifier, and which are host identifiers. If your users need access to the Internet, include a router in your system with a LAN address within the network you've selected, and set the Gateway for each host that requires access to match the router's LAN address.

By the way, not using DHCP will cause you a lot of grief. If you don't have a server in the group to perform that task for you, configure one router to serve as the DHCP Server. Manual configuration of more than 5 computers on a network is a major hassle, not worth anyone's time.
