I have also had some success with TcpTimedWaitDelay TCP reg setting. I set it to 30 on my systems. TcpTimedWaitDelay (new in Windows NT versions 3.51 SP5 and later) Key: Tcpip\Parameters Value Type: REG_DWORD - Time in seconds Valid Range: 30-300 (decimal) Default: 0xF0 (240 decimal) Description: This parameter determines the length of time that a connection will stay in the TIME_WAIT state when being closed. While a connection is in the TIME_WAIT state, the socket pair cannot be re-used. This is also known as the "2MSL" state, as by RFC the value should be twice the maximum segment lifetime on the network. See RFC793 for further details. -Jay To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
