I am so happy because after struggling with Pentium III (Windows 2000) and then a Pentium II (Windows 98) computers until recently, I finally bought a new, faster computer with Windows XP and wow, what a difference. I asked the store at the time to partition it for Linux or Open Source, but he said that would cause MS Windows license and warranty issues and problems, so despite the fact that I have three hard drives now, plenty of storage, and a fast CPU, more working memory, etc.

Now, just a week later, I have read about "Event ID 4226" in these LimeWire Gnutella forums, and I found that message on my own computer.

However, they don't advise what or where to patch the Parameter Limit. See as follows:

******

How can I find out, if I'm affected?
Just have a look at Start/Maintenance/Control Panel/Administration

Management/Eventview/System if there are entries with the event id

4226. If yes, minimum one time the limit has been reached

I read something, that it's possible to change limit via registry

(TcpNumConnections). Is that true?
Unfortunately not. Because the concurrent connection attemp limit has

nothing to with concurrent connections, this registry-key is useless.

Unfortunately there is no registry-key, which would allow the user to

change the concurrent connection attemps.

50 concurrent, half-open connections is to less for me. Is it possible

to get more?
Yes! Just use as a Parameter /L=limit, where limit describes the new

limit.
For example a 100 limit can be set with the command:
EvID4226Patch /L=100

Where do you do that? What file or program do you edit? Probably not the Registry, I am thinking. I searched my computer for a tcpip.sys file, and found nothing.

Do you patch the Network Card TCP/IP parameters? I will try that now.
