Hiya all,
Just a heads up: Windows XP SP2 includes a limitation for
only 10 half-open TCP/IP connections... This means that anytime there are more than 10 TCP/IP open requests, then the TCP/IP stack would queue the rest...
This would affect a lot of people trying to use programs that open a lot of ports simultaneously... A good example being P2P programs...
Here is the situation:

And the fix:

In so far as I can say, the fix works for me. And I have no more idiotic warnings in my event journal...
Cheers!
