WINXP SP2 TCP/IP Concurrent Connections Fix



 -----------------------
  Understanding the Fix
 -----------------------

When installing Windows XP Service Pack 2, it installs a security feature 
that will limit the amount of concurrent INCOMPLETE connections. This limits
performance in CERTAIN situations, specifically in P2P programs where they 
attempt to make over 10 concurrent connections at a time. 

The purpose of this is to secure the machine and slow down the flow of worms
spreading on the targets machine. 

If you are not recieving 4226 errors, then this patch will not benefit you
in any shape or form. To see if you have this error:
- click start, (settings), control panel
- double-click adminstrative tools
- double-click event viewer
- highlight system
- Under source heading look for Tcpip, double-click the entry and you
  should have a error similiar to this:
  "TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent
   TCP connect attempts."


If you have these errors occuring throughout the log, then this patch will
help greatly. If you do NOT have these errors the patch is not recommended,
and you should stick to the secure version of TCP/IP.
