Is this a Windows XP with Service Pack 2 system?
No, it is the latest Mac OS X version (10.3.7?).
Also, the same computer (Powerbook G4) seems to work fine at work.
SP2 has a new security 'feature' that will limit the amount of connections you can generate per second to 10. For more info and a patch try this link:

Interesting to know this though. It might prove useful in other circumstances.
Ah, I see that, as you say, it is outbound connections *per* second. The issue I see doesn't seem to be dependant on time. IE, I can set my bittorrent client going and, after it has 10 connections downloading, I
can no longer use any other internet applications - ie browser, etc etc.
Also, if I use the linky extension in firefox to open new tabs for all links on a web page, it will just stop at 10 - takes ages.
Hrm.

Thanks.

Hi,
Would anyone be willing to do me a favour and write me a short script that will test the number of successful connections I can make from my machine to any machine on the internet?
The network programming skills I learned at school have fallen by the way side :(
The problem is that I seem to only be able to make 10 connections to the internet, and my ISP claims that they make no restrictions that should have this effect. For example, if I set up a bittorrent client to only allow 10 connections, it will stop anything else (web browser, etc etc) that connects over the internet.
I suspect there are one or two people on this list that could knock something like this off in a could of seconds...probably best if it'll run on Windows without having to install anything :| I wonder what I could write it in....I've never programmed a Windows box :(
I suppose that last smilie should be a :)
