I just tested this on my windows XP machine running rc1. A default configuration reports zeros for the tcp values in a 'show all'. More significantly, if you change a tcp parameter from the default, the server rejects connections without a relevant error message :(. I did some research and the only way to control these parameters is to adjust the system registry plus a reboot. (somebody correct me here). If that is the case IMO it makes the most sense to have the server fail to start if the default parameters are changed. Even better would be a stronger test to make sure o/s supports this feature.
