Microsoft has set a limit of 10 PC to PC connections for Windows XP. The only way to get over that limit is to have a server. You can install a file server running Windows 2003 (for example) with 30 CALs (client access licenses) without needing to install a domain. That way the 30 machines can connect to the server in almost a peer to peer relationship. You may want to investigate a Linux server if the Microsoft license cost is a prohibitive factor. I would recommend a wired network over wireless. Wireless is nice for guest access or the occasional laptop user who doesn't want to plug into the network, but wired will be faster and more secure.
