Hello everyone! I have XP 64 bit. How can I edit the tcp/ip socket limitation
that is set by the SP2. I think it would be more efficient to use the
internet if we can do this of course at the same time protecting your PC.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
It is Not clear what is it that you want to do with the TCP/IP. Windows do
not put any limitation on it.
if you want to optimize the TCP.IP stack to fit your type of connection may
be this can Help.

Thank you for responding quick. Sorry that I did not elaborate much, but
what I am talking about has something to do with the connection limitations
and not the speed. Let me quote a statement from a website.

"Remove the limit on TCP connection attempts.
Windows XP SP2 introduces a few new twists to TCP/IP in order to babysit
users and "reduce the threat" of worms spreading fast without control. In one
such attempt, the devs seem to have limited the number of possible TCP
connection attempts per second to 10 (from unlimited in SP1). This
argumentative feature can possibly affect server and P2P programs that need
to open many outbound connections at the same time."

Respectfully,
Allen

Why do you think you need to do this? Are you seeing Event ID 4226 in
the Event Log or receiving any other error messages?
