Hi

According to someone on the web you can manually change the number of
simultanious connections to something more usefull under SP2
I havent tried this yet but I did kill the anoying nag that keeps on bitching
if you turn off auto updates by changing a reg setting.

This is the key to add to modify the maximum number of simultaneous connections

TcpNumConnections

Key: TcpipParameters
Value Type: REG_DWORD - Number
Valid Range: 0 - 0xfffffe
Default: 0xfffffe

Description: This parameter limits the maximum number of connections that TCP can have open simultaneously.
