File -> Save for Web (and devices, if CS3) -> Set to PNG-8 and colors according to how many are max, for instance 64 or 132, the other settings you can choose how you like (pick what looks best).

Or you can first save whatever you've been working on, and then click on 'Image '> 'Mode' > 'Indexed Color...' > choose 'Local' in the 'Palette' (whichever you like) and type 112 in the 'Color' box. You can also force the colours you like by choosing the 'Custom...' option under the 'Forced' field. Under the 'Options' submenu you can use some dithering methods in case you've got a very colourful map which won't look particularly good in 112 colours, though the results are generally poor.
After you've done, choose 'Save As...' (do NOT save the file as it'll save the merged layer with the 112 colours) and save it as a PNG. If you happen to save it by accident, skip a few actions up in the 'History' box and save again.

type 112 in the 'Color' box

This seems to be a common mistake amoung map makers. If your map has true black in it, RGB(0,0,0), you should reduce the colors to 113, not to 112.

So...i have another problem..
When i make big maps. and i safe it as PNG-8 etc etc. and i load it in WA.
In game the map has a white background instead of the normal walking space. I tried much versions of PNGs, but theres always a bug. and if the walking space in normal, the colors are complete wrong.
Someone knows an answer.....?

Try doing it my way (no need to set saving options).

Oh, thanks for the tip Etho.
