nazz Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I saw this in a few places now.This is the key to add to modify the maximum number of simultaneous connections TcpNumConnections Key: TcpipParametersValue Type: REG_DWORD - NumberValid Range: 0 - 0xfffffeDefault: 0xfffffeDescription: This parameter limits the maximum number of connections that TCP can have open simultaneously.Can anyone confirm that changing this registry entry will fix the connection limitation on users windows who actually want to allow maximum connections. Do someone have a reg file which fixes this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCT Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 ive found this, http://warp2search.net/modules.php?name=Ne...ticle&sid=19039says its a possible fix, so it may work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shark007 Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Here's a reg file that sets it to the default used in XP SP116.7 million connections.Shark007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do someone have a reg file which fixes this problem?------- and the original question still stands unanswered! (Except for the reg file -- thanks for that.)

PaulD_ixbt Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 TcpNumConnections will not help. I've posted some comments there.http://bink.nu/DesktopModules/ArticleDetai...?ArticleID=2208Default value for TcpNumConnections is 00FFFFFE for SP0, SP1 and SP2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeenThereB4 Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 At last a definitive answer! Thanks, I suspected that registry entry was of no value, but I was not able to get as far as you did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisco2k Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 I heard that the tweak to remove this is something to do with editing the tcpip.sys file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazkal Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Anyone know of anything else that might work? This is killing bittorrent downloads.UPDATE:I found this webpage that says they have a fix for it.Fix?UPDATE 2:I just tried it, but it hasn't been set to work with build 2180 yet.

nolookingca Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 (edited) that's seems to be only for the RCs.. EDIT: this might just be it: http://www.lvllord.de/index2.htmHowever, the auto-patch page still doesn't say 2180, but the mainpage and the manual one does...EDIT2: My bad. the patcher file does work with 2180. EDIT3: any one got a hex-edited version I could use for the install CD? Edited August 7, 2004 by nolookingca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazkal Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Sweet, it looks like it patched it, now I have to try it out. Thanks for the link.After looking at this page, Here.It seems this is only patching the connections to 50 total (up from the new limit of 10), but still not unlimited, like SP1 or before.

tbone587 Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 what exactly kind of problem is this feature presenting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazkal Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 what exactly kind of problem is this feature presenting?It's two reasons for me:1) By what right does Microsoft have to set down limits on my internet use? I could see if they set some limited defaults for all the Joe Sixpacks out there that just do a base install of the OS, or keep the installed OS on their new PC they just bought. But why shouldn't we have the ability to unlock that? /end rant2) If you use P2P programs, then you will be highly limited on your up/download speeds. Bittorrent uses 100 connections by default (I believe). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone587 Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 hmm.. im currently using sp2 2149 and havent really noticed a connection issue with bit torrent. although i just got a modded xbox and sometimes ill lose connection to the ftp.. not sure if thats cause of sp2 or not. so as of now, there is no way to remove this limitation"?

There is a patch avaliable that moves the limit from 10 to 50 connections (listed in a previous link). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone587 Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 I went to the event viewer and I see a bunch of warnings.. I guess Im way out of connections.... Arg I wish someone would crack this, but I guess ill run that patch or whatever was posted.EDIT: One of the parts on the site it says is "Now restart your computer an press F8 short after the Bios is done and start in securemode (don't know the right translation!)." What exactly is secure mode? Are they just referring to safe mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
