Franz-Leo, the number of unique port numgers has no relation to max number of simultaneous conenctions the system can handle. The connection is not identified by local port only but using 4 values (local port, localIP, remote port, remote IP) so the theoretical max amount of connection for server side is much much higher. > Even 64k is absolute kimit, Windows have limit setted in registry, > for > examle WinP have this limit as cca 4000 sockets.

If you are runing server side you are not allocating new (dynamic) port numbers - you are just using the same port number (80 for example) as local end port. >> A more stricter limitation is the OS licence.

My Windows XP Professional and W2000 Professional allows much more connection than 10 Regards Dalibor Toman ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
