Ad-hoc network with more than 2 laptops?

Do ad-hoc networks support more than 2 laptops? I ask as I have problems adding a third laptop to a WEP-protected ad-hoc network. The network is found on the third laptop but it thinks the network is not protected. It doesn't ask for a WEP key but simply tries to connect which doesn't work of course. All laptops run Windows XP and there is no problem to create an ad-hoc network between two laptops. Before I go on trying to figure out what's wrong I would like to know if WEP-protected ad-hoc networks support more than 2 laptops at all?
