TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent
TCP connect attempts.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

That link has no information and I'm wondering exactly what this means. It
occurs for no reason 2 to 4 times a day.
 
Thanks Wesley. I found a patch online that raised my TCP/IP limit to 50, do
you think that's dangerous? I'm fully protected security-wise.

Windws 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.

I have SP1 so I do not have the SP2 imposed limit.

Only you know if there is malware on your machine.

You might look to see if there are other Warning / Error Reports
indicating problems such as time outs!

No other warnings at all. I'm upgrading to XP Pro SP2 soon and most likely
that will restore the original settings anyway.
