John - generally that's a server restriction, and something that has been well documented on for IIS as well as various strategies in the HTML communities have been developed to help "get around" this.
For IIS its important when you are using IIS as an application / middle teir / wcf server with an IIS front end web server. In that scenario you still want the limitation from the front end server to the clients, but you want to increase the allowed cnnection from the app server to the UI server. The more general html/web strategies involve breaking you resources in to various sub domains/servers. Images.domain /css/js/html can be placed on various "domains" to increase your simultanious connections from 2 to 8. The other strategy is to increase individual payloads and decrease number of requests. This plays out by combining multiple images on to a single image and the using css and css "sprite" support to slice and lay out the images client side. Take a look at the bing.com home page for an exaple of that. The "blurry" boxes are actually attached to the main image. Hope that helps!

Anyone know why Silverlight2 seems to be restricted to 2 simultaneous requests only? I have changed the browser settings to allow 8, put in 4 different domains to allow for 8 and even used firefox that supports 8 natively with no luck. Is there a configuration somewhere at the plugin level to change this? ________________________________ Support procedure: https://www.codify.com/lists/support List address: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subscribe: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Unsubscribe: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> List FAQ: http://www.codify.com/lists/ozsilverlight Other lists you might want to join: http://www.codify.com/lists -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Support procedure: https://www.codify.com/lists/support List address: [email protected] Subscribe: [email protected] Unsubscribe: [email protected] List FAQ: http://www.codify.com/lists/ozsilverlight Other lists you might want to join: http://www.codify.com/lists
