TCPIP.SYS issue

[Guest Burleyman]

I am getting this warning on all the users I have checked so far (40+), Event

ID:4226, Source Tcpip, and it states TCP/IP has reached the security limit

imposed on the number of concurrent TCP connection attempts. I know it means

that over 10 connections did not fully connect in 1 second (if I am wrong let

me know). What I need to do is to find out how I can increase that amount, as

it is causing problems with my users. I was going to use a hex editor for the

TCPIP.SYS file but I do not know the offset to the area that would need to be

changed. Can someone please help me with something that I can do to increase

this? I really don't want to download some new TCPIP.SYS file from some

unknown on the web, I would prefer something from Microsoft.

No...don't use bittorrent......

Well it does not seem that there is a Microsoft solution so I will move on.

Thanks....I did find that but was hoping for a Microsoft solution. Maybe I

will contact them on this.

The only way that happens if from a P2P client or Bittorrent. There is

no other way to evoke that Event ID that I am aware of. The is no

Microsoft solution because they have hard-coded that 10 connection

limitation into the tcpip.sys driver when the outbreak of Sasser and

other worms from before SP2 was released as a way of combating

hundreds of connection sending or communicating virii. XP was the

first Windows OS to use RAW sockets and the original SP0 and SP1

connection limit was 100 (or more), if I remember right. It's a

"damage control" kludge really.
